Cut from the clip when the two cars collided.
“A motorcycle passes through an intersection with a green light. Even if it’s only for a few seconds, the green light means it’s still allowed to go. It’s more likely that the CX-5 will run early when the light is on. It’s still red. For comments mine, it depends on the basic principles of traffic lights, whoever runs a red light is wrong,” nick Tien Dao shared his opinion.
A small stream of opinion believes that the Mazda CX-5 is not bad. “The CX-5 car also passed the light for a while, because the motorcycle was not visible because of the bus,” account Nguyen Minh wrote. In response, nick Le Hoang Viet said: “So the red car ran the red light, because the motorcycle left when the green light was still 4 seconds, which means the red light on the other side must be tens of seconds.”
In addition, members on social networks also recommend each other to increase the investigation and control the speed. “Of course, obey the traffic signals. But for the characteristics of our country, when passing through the intersection, you need to slow down and pay attention to avoid unexpected situations and traffic violators. ” , shared by Tien Dao account.
“According to my own experience, in the last seconds before changing the light, I slow down and stop. When the light is green for a few seconds and try to pass, I speed up, and even walk while looking at the light. “That is not a good way to handle the situation. Running a red light is already a traffic violation, so just go when the light turns green,” nick Huy Hoang commented.
According to Decree 123/2021/ND-CP, motorists guilty of running a red light will be fined 4,000,000-6,000,000 VND and have their driving licenses revoked for 1-3 months. If you do not obey the traffic lights and cause an accident, your driver’s license will be revoked for 2-4 months.
