Bottletop Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just had a look at that video, yeah it's not good driving but hardly the worst I've seen - I think it's a bit pedantic you bothered to upload and spread it around. It looks to me like the driver initially pulled out, slowed for a split second and noticed the pedestrians weren't crossing because of them, and then made the bad decision to take off. If I had a camera and uploaded/reported to SF every bit of bad driving I ever came across, I'd save time by rigging up a live webcam in my car!

Vegas1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It is hard to tell but did he pull out, then notice the light was on red but he was half way across the crossing so decided to carry on anyway rather than block the crossing for the pedestrians? That lay-by is very close to the crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GleadlessLad Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Not good! The same thing happens a lot on the Pelican crossing in town across Pinstone Street at the junction with Charles Street - I've seen many near misses there when vehicles have turned right, out of Charles Street (John Lewis side) into Pinstone Street & gone straight through the red light on the crossing outside where Suggs Sports used to be. Worst one I saw was a woman in a convertible Volvo, roof down, eating an apple who would have "got" a woman & two children who were crossing on the Green Man - if I hadn't shouted to them to watch out making them jump out of the way...

Daven Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Have you sent this to the Police? Would they even bother doing anything with it? Unless he sends it to the police we will never know. Have you forwarded this information to the police Timeh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Unless he sends it to the police we will never know. Have you forwarded this information to the police Timeh ? Yes. I put my feelings towards SYP to one side based purely on the fact he or she were prepared to go through a red light with a pedestrian so close. I doubt if i could live with myself should the Volvo driver end up killing someone and i didnt do anything. ---------- Post added 18-06-2015 at 17:17 ---------- As for if they will do anything? The PC seemed enthusiastic about speaking to someone with those kinds of road manners so i have my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
