5 crazy drivers at once Shell / Alderbridge
 
Today as i was heading north on Shell,(12:30pm) some asshole SUV tailed me while i continued to decelerate/cruise to the stop light. I stopped at the red light, then the 4 cars infront started creeping forward at the OUR red light, stopping the alderbridge/hwy traffic. The SUV behind me moved over to the shoulder and crept thru the intersection with them. Then they continued to speed off. The rest the cars who did stop at the red light just looked at each other and started laughing. This was such a surreal site. They didnt have strobe lights or sirens. All relatively newer mid/ full size vehicles. Anyone know whats up or saw this today?

or just a few idiots on the road running a light

I've seen this happen before too, at 49th & Knight\, two cars just started creeping into the intersection going West on 49th while their light was red. I was going North on Knight in the left lane waiting...and they just crept....and zoomed through. So weird. :/

Seen this before too.
I kinda looked at my friend in the passenger seat weird.

We both went, wtf? Did they just run a red really obviously? LOL

This was at like.....5pm, rush hour time...so it was really gutsy.

chun 06-30-2009 10:55 PM

What the hell, this is a common occurrence now?

I saw this happen the other day too. EXCEPT... the guys weren't the first guys at the light, so instead of creeping in from the stop line, they jumped into opposing traffic, then crept in, and blasted through.

This was northbound on No. 5 road, at Cambie. It's two lanes each way and that intersection is always busy as fuck.

WTF i saw the same shit too around nanaimo street. they ran 2 different intersections. this happened a few months ago

murd0c 06-30-2009 11:30 PM

I do that sometimes turning left If im in the front, just bust a left turn when I see the other lights turning yellow and no ones comming

Gtrr33 06-30-2009 11:46 PM

saw this happend too, stop on a red light then the dude just creep'd then run the red light.

TOS'd 07-01-2009 02:20 AM

by-passing red light cams at intersections? lol

Benz_05TSX 07-01-2009 02:31 AM

They all need to take a shit really bad???

ilvtofu 07-01-2009 10:03 AM

This always happens on broadway and arbutus outside of rogers video, Because there's a railroad crossing there, but that's completely different since no trains run there anymore, but there's a red light, and if one guy creeps past the first red light, everyone follows..

Same. I saw this a couple years ago. It was two Nissan Altimas.

Are you talking about the light before the train tracks, or the light actually for the Arbutus intersection?

Because it's legal to go through the red light that's before the train tracks... they just have to stop first, then proceed...

Yeah I think i saw two altima's too.. or an altima and a minivan..

blazn1 07-02-2009 10:53 AM

This instance wasnt simply running a red light just after a yellow, this was 5 cars all with the same objective to nudge their way in and stop the cross traffic (HIGHWAY TRAFFIC) during mid-red light. My first thought was, "Damn! stakes must be high for this scavenger hunt."

Lol yeah the ones before the train tracks, it's funny though cause ppl won't go if you stop there, I always ignore it and just go through...

COPPERS TRYIN' TA KEEP A BROTHER DOWN

TOS'd 07-06-2009 07:24 PM

Today, 2 black Lexus sedans (i think, 2nd was a lexus forsure) heading down Elliot to 54th. I was heading north on Elliot, they were south stopped at a light and were the 3rd and 4th cars. Red light still and the first guy decides to creep the intersection, so he turns to the opposite lane and just missed a left turner from 54th and then speeds through the intersection down Elliot. Then the seconds guy does the same thing, this time just missing a car going through the intersection. First car had 1 or 2 ppl in it, while the second car was full of young middle aged guys. Everyone that was stopped at the intersection just gave the wtf look to each other.

did they look gangster or more like they could be undercover cops?

TOS'd 07-06-2009 07:51 PM

^ more towards gangsters. they were probably anywhere from 19-25 years old, mostly caucasians from what i saw as they drove by me.
