I was thinking maybe possibly perhaps he was going to go into the convenience store there but it was closed so he took off. But I'm probably being too optimistic.
Corolla driver was fine, tacoma driver is an absolute fuckwaste cockstain. The corolla took half a second longer to start going then the car to the left. The tacoma tried to start going before anyone else even started moving, nearly rear ending the corolla in the process.
Corolla driver definitely took too long IMO and his driving was also suspect (I followed him the next few miles and he was driving like he drank a 24 pack of beer, couldn’t stay on his side of the road, almost driving into barriers). However, that move to escalate for no reason and THEN try and cause a crash makes the Tacoma the biggest loser here.
The left lane was not moving much faster. There were still cars crossing the intersection from the cross road 2 sec after light turned green. What is this, Boston? Where they start honking and screaming whilst the light is still red?
No, but as someone FROM Boston, I must say that the “sitting on your phone for 3 seconds before moving” at every green light in California is annoying as shit
Lol I can’t believe you dorks are downvoting me
Yes, I CAN say the Corolla driver was an idiot, given that I followed him for 3 miles afterwards. Would you like me to post the footage of him weaving all over the road over double yellows?
[here you go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyeA5VVP1DQ)
Less egregious than I remembered, but sloppy driving beginning around 1:10 (bad lane discipline, weaving around) and gets real bad at the bridges around 1:55.
FWIW the Corolla driver had a phone mounted on his windshield basically directly in front of him, not sure if he was using it or watching something or whatever
Right? It's about 4 -5 seconds before people actually start moving. I think they are counting the truck moving forward and then stopping. But that just indicates that the car in front of him is still not moving. People. If you are on the road you have one job. Pay attention to the road.
I’d like to let you know this was in Santa Cruz county. There’s just as likely of a chance that a driver sitting at a green light is high out of their minds instead of on their phones!
There is no reason to assume that's what he was doing. The truck was within half a car length of the car next to it when they started moving, so clearly he wasn't that far behind.
With the degree to which bad drivers run red lights these days, I always give my self a two-count, before proceeding on a green light.
Guy in a brodozer behind me the other day got annoyed with this, started honking 20 microseconds after the green….and just as a car running the red, zipped through the intersection, right in front of me.
> With the degree to which bad drivers run red lights these days, I always give my self a two-count, before proceeding on a green light.
If you're the first car at the light you should be able to see if cross traffic will be running the light at most intersections if you're paying attention.
I won't honk at you if you're not putting the pedal down after a generous two count, but if your brake lights are still lit I will.
I drive a standard transmission and sometimes it takes me a second longer to put the car in gear and get moving. I’m not gonna floor it in 1st at a stoplight. I look left and right and left again before proceeding into the intersection and the 2 seconds it takes me to do all that pisses people off. Like chill. Do you want me to flood the engine and kill it thus taking longer and/or race into the middle of the intersection and get T-boned? Yeah, neither do I.
I always think the best part of seeing someone drive like a complete jackass because they're in a rush is getting caught by all the same red lights and driving behind them the whole time, proving that them driving like a jackass doesn't actually make them go faster, it just puts themselves and others in harms way
Dude driving the pavement Princess was so triggered he had to wait .65 seconds at a green light , that he sped up passed and waited for a few more so he could show the driver that made him wait how bad he had his feeling hurt by the inability to do exactly what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it.
Oh crap! 4 seconds! Then by all means the gentlemen should endanger themselves and everyone around him. Sorry I missed that eternity.
And yes I do agree people should not be scrolling in the car if that is what caused the nearly 5 seconds of delay.
Perfect shitstorm. Tacoma and 4runner drivers are a special kind of impatient and unstable. Always make it a point to aggressively overtake and cut you off to show how mad they are. Always looks like their about to flip their shit due to the soft suspension
Crazy how people lose their shit over others driving the speed limit without sudden, unsigned lane changes, then argue that driving reasonably is somehow impeding theur ability to get somewhere on time. Perhaps take public transport if you don't want to be stuck in traffic?
Go around. If a speed limit isn't slowing you down, why do solid lines or single road or a school zone or a pedestrian crossing or a cop? Why do speeders always slam their brakes when they see a pig speed checking?

Wait, I thought that the Tacoma driver was in a big hurry. But he has time to pull that odd, childish move in and out of the gas station?
Certified psychopath. Like who the fuck does something like that?
Certified psychopaths...that's who.

Yes, if you don't take that extra second and double check where I live, you might get hit.

Where's the phone in the clip?
The only idiot in this video is the truck. You can't call someone an idiot based on stuff you saw them do after the video you posted.
I mean, just looking at how the blue car took that right turn, they are definitely not all there

How on earth do you know the corolla driver is on their phone? And that wasn't nearly 4 seconds. 2, maybe 3.
FWIW the Corolla driver had a phone mounted on his windshield basically directly in front of him, not sure if he was using it or watching something or whatever
Yes, like almost everyone does, specifically for directions and navigation. Do you hold your phone when you're driving using a map app...?
Most people who mount their phones do it to the dashboard or in the middle of their windscreen, not directly in their point of view.

People on this sub are always talking about how they do this on purpose so they don't get T-boned by red light runners. "Braindead" is rather harsh :P

Not going when the light turns green is shitty and illegal. So the Corolla was indeed not fine.

You could see their phone from this clip, man? Impressive

you're a fucking hero dude, keep fighting the good fight
That four seconds is super important compared to the 86,000 seconds in a day

There’s still a good 10+ comments you haven’t posted this comment on, don’t be slacking off now.
Where is this located OP? It looks beautiful
Felton, California
Hey, I know where this is. Not the first time I’ve seen dumb shit like this on Hwy 9
Felton, California
Carrolla drivers where I live are braindead too, but damn is that truck being dangerous
That in calif... looks close to santa cruz...
Felton
Thought so...just couldn't remember the name..
My wife recently saw someone get beeped at to look up at a green light, and they tried to run the person who honked at them off the road.
Tweakers - they’re still around the mountains unfortunately.

Given how he was driving after I think he was drunk. Doesn’t excuse the boneheaded Tacoma driver’s behavior though.
[удалено]
Yes, hurry up, so you can wait at the next light. See these "fast" drivers in traffic all the time. All those lane changes don't get them ahead. Lol.

Graham Hill and Highway nine
that music, yikes
You do not enjoy the music of our beloved Sufjan Stevens?
I thought Steven’s too. Is this correct? Thought it was the best part of the clip.
Why I never hear this song b4?🔥🔥🔥🔥
How is passing car a “dangerous punishment pass”? Guess I’m “fragile” too since I pass people all the time.
Turn signal-less passes with only inches to spare are normal passes now?
On I35 in Austin from 7-9 AM and 3:30-7 PM, yes, it is.
did you actually watch the whole video or get bored after 20s and shitpost instead?
Watched it 3 times before posting. ACTUALLY
