I watched in awe today and waited for the crash....which didn't happen but the dude sure tried hard......
Was heading through Hamilton East, approaching the lights at Clyde Street, still quite a way back. Lights go orange. A car's in front of me, also quite a way back from the intersection. When the orange appears, driver plants the boot and accelerates towards intersection....light goes red before he's there, still keeps the boot down and blasts through, against the red.....by which time I have my fingers in my ears waiting for the smacko......which miraculously fails to eventuate......
Weather was atrocious at the time, heavy rain, very poor visibility, slippery road.....but still racing the red. And of course, couple hundred metres further down is another red light, this time with lines of traffic already stopped, so loonylegs has to stop anyway........and didn't move until the first light had gone green and everybody had caught up...nett gain - 0 seconds.....nett risk to others - incalculable.....
Usually I would dob that sort of thing in but was too far back to get all the details.....but I still wonder what the motivation was......
