I think the other guy ran a red so would ultimately be his fault but...I did kinda see him led next to his car not moving, so maybe he paid the ultimate price?

Well, in fairness I did put down an option for everyone...maybe not for the reason you stated, but close enough I feel

'led next to his car'?

Check the vid at about 33-36 seconds through it, I think he was dragged out of the car and then left for dead...grim

I love the way that onlooking car just speeded off

[The Hitman]

A lot of people have put down the racers, but (and I stress I DO NOT condone street racing as it really is idiotic) from a legal perspective they had the "right of way" as they have the green light...the other guy jumped a red.

I know they would have gone well over the speed limit had they continued but is there a law that states how fast you can legally get too the speed limit?

probably the best thing to do given the nature of policing in such countries.

[dase1ats]

I don't think there is a specific rate of acceleration that is listed as illegal, but after a certain point, (established by the police / witnesses) accelerating too fast can be construed as dangerous / reckless driving...

where is that-it looks like russia

In this country the green light signifies you can proceed only if safe to do so.


Muppets - all of them, the two cars racing and the car that ran the red light and the spectators.

There's also the amusingly named 'furious driving'

[Robb F]

Ohhh he ran a red light, thought it was a crossroads. My detective skills are fading...

[obscene]

The guy who ran a red imo. Okay, they shouldn't be racing but it definetly didn't help when the guy ran the light.

Sofia, in Bulgaria, was plagued by drivers playing "Red Roulette". Drivers deliberately race through red lights on the main roads, survivors win the betting 'pot'. The local paper recently reported thirty deaths in one night.
