| 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?

I was going North on Knight in the left lane waiting...and they just crept....and zoomed through. So weird. :/

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.

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..

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

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."

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.
