Big Lorry went through a red light on Penistone Rd

I love watching dash cam footage on youtube, it is one of my favourite sources of entertainment. It just amazes me how many of them work in reverse and show the driver of the car with the dash cam to be at fault. (well over half).

Definitely buy a dash cam shoo.

This one is excellent

(you don't need to buy the mount that it recommends on Amazon, you get one with it, albeit a cheaper one)

I see it daily, branded lorries, buses, vans - all supposed professional drivers. Nobody respects red lights any more. You dare to rebuke them with lights and horn and you get abuse in return.

 

Unfortunately it happens all the time on Penistone Road. Rush hour is a nightmare with traffic light jumpers and cyclists cycling between the two lanes of traffic rather than use the cycle path or (as the Highway Code states) stick to the left.

You could perhaps trace the vehicle if you know which company it was. If you can remember ring them up and tell them the time it happened. I would imagine they would be able to trace it

Or just forget about it. Even at a green light I always check the road is clear. Don't just assume. I can't think of the road or speed limit and maybe he wasn't paying much attention, but say he was doing 40mph, a lorry is a hell of a weight to stop, I know it's not the point and he should have slowed down bit you also should look to whether it's the law or not.

Ive had a dash came for one and half years now after a ******** kid ran out in front of me, well he got thrown up the bonnet and on the floor, totally his fault and fortunately the police knew this too, if I'd had a dash can it would have been much quicker.

Tinsley roundabout is terrible for red light running. I never go immediately there its an accident waiting to happen

It's also very badly marked too. (and the approach markings on the ground and on the signs is very poor when entering from the Meadowhall side)

I always take that roundabout slower in comparison to other roundabouts and with extra caution for these reasons.

if it viola ring them as there wagons are on tracker and all cabs have cctv they can see who was where

Just had a 15 minute walk back from Sheffield station. Saw three cars jump three separate red lights (red not amber). It's endemic.
