thanksyah it's a repost...
I love how he makes big point of indicating that this was his second accident. Who goes aggressively into a clogged intersection like that? Lack of situational awareness and defensive riding to say the least.

I'm awaiting the flaming for my upcoming comment:
As stupid as he was for trying to fly through, I can understand his anger/dumbfoundedness. I have had 2 full seconds of green light where cars continue to turn left. Now I would never try and force my bike through, but have I inched forward and laid on the horn? Yup. Guilty. Imo, this is where the police should be laying charges and not speed traps.
But yeah, I think this guy was just a dumb@$$, but hey, he got his YT views, amirite??

where is my flame thrower! will the bbq suffice? the front of the car was beyond the pedestrian lines - this makes him "in" the intersection. if you are in an intersection the rules are to continue through the red to clear the intersection. the car moved forward a foot at most. i think he was moving up closer to the car in front to leave room behind him. anyone in court who watches the video is going to think wtf is with the biker revving out in a dragstrip launch across a blocked intersection. that alone may earn him a dangerous or careless driving charge. the bikers best scenario is for the insurance companies to find him 75% at fault, car 25%. if he pushes it to court he may find himself charged with careless or dangerous and 100% at fault.
