Guy on the left in the intersection being close to running a red light, probably would have if the camera wasent there right then.
 
Guy on the left in the intersection being close to running a red light,
Didn't look that close to me. Looked like he was approaching the cross street rather quickly but was still stopped well back without any apparent 'emergency' braking. I see that kind of driving often - go as fast as you can as long as you can before slowing.

The same drivers will pass me in a hurry only to be waiting at the next red light when I get there a few seconds later.
 
Yeah but it look as if he are well past a stop line, or at least the ability to see the traffic lights for his direction.
I have a feeling he was going to sneak in a R turn under red light, he is also indicating that.
Look like he will have to reverse some 10 - 12 feet to be able to read his lights, the whole car are past the stop line, which under Danish traffic law are considered running a red light even if you dont go into the intersection.
Actually just the front wheels past the stop line are technically running a red light here.
 
The car turned right and went the way I came from. Within a second or two after I passed his front end, he pulled out.
 
Yeah i figured so :rolleyes:

Didn't look all that close, but camera can also be deceptive. I've had some close calls with drivers and when I watch the video, it appears further than actually transpired. Distances aren't always easy to gauge.
 
Lots of people here drive like that, leaving no safety margin if braking is reduced and moving forward before you've cleared them fully :( But they do seem to turn their brains back on when they look up and see my big old van conming, knowing fully well that if they hit it they're not likely to be driving away afterward because of the damage to their car. You can see it in their faces; sometimes eyes get big as they watch and sometimes it's a look of frustration as they realize they can't get their way. Would probably make for some good YouTube content to post what my sidecams capture when this happens but I'm not into that kind of thing ;)

It is definitely more worrisome when my vehicle is not so much larger than theirs.

That is one reason my dream vehicle are not a fancy sports car, but a 12 - 15 tonne Armored Personnel Carrier
Also it would give me the benefit that i would be able to visit places in my country where a little white boy like me would be met with extreme violence,,,,,, and i like to visit people. :)
 
There are places in Denmark you're afraid to visit? But I though Denmark was a Scandinavian socialist Utopia?

That's what all the lefties here are always saying anyway. Always pointing to the Scandinavian countries as an example of how socialism is done "right."

Well it is better here than communism / that hardcore kind of socialism, but if you are going to take America to that level you are going to have to ease into it very slowly, or you will have that #2 civil war for sure.
But some Americans like it here.
 
I visited Denmark many times. I liked it there. But that was a long time ago.

Many of us here are doing all we can to prevent the steady downhill slide into socialism. Unfortunately, we are failing...
