  1. 24:55 "I was looking away for a split second" – the big pick up truck slowing down with full brake lights for 2.5 seconds and the sounds suggest that the driver is more interested in her phone call than driving.

  2. 35:24 "I didn't have visual to the white car" – however, the moving white car can be seen for the whole video if you are not stupid and watch for the crossing traffic before entering the lights. Also, it seems that this car was doing pretty fast through intersection with flashing yellow lights so clearly this driver is at fault.

  3. 25:10 This driver explains that he lost control because of oil stain on the road. I guess going fast with a crappy car on wet road had nothing to do with losing control...

  4.  @adamcoleman3086  Yeah, the accurate flashing yellow signal depends on jurisdiction but none of the meanings that I'm aware mean that you can drive through the intersection without being careful. Here in Finland flashing yellow means "traffic lights are out of order, follow intersection rules that would be in order if there were not traffic lights at all" so there's no difference between flashing yellow and lights totally off. Flashing yellow is obviously easier to notice, though.

  7.  @VoidHugger  I assumed that the driver was the one speaking a lot and she did sound like a woman. But you're right that she could have been a passanger.

  8. @Lane Maust Do you see flashing red for the intersecting traffic going from left to right in this video? Also, it's news to me that they have intentionally intersections where you flash yellow to one direction and flash red to another direction. I've only experienced intersections that either flash yellow to all directions or have fully working traffic lights.

  9. @Lane Maust Yeah, if you add "united states" to your query. Other places have different rules.
