Truck that beat red light 'could have killed my wife and daughter'

STOMPer Jeremy was turning right at West Coast Highway when a truck travelling from the opposite direction nearly hit the back of his car, where his wife and daughter were seated, because it had beat the red light.

Said the STOMPer:

"Was turning right at the junction of West Coast Highway and West Coast Link (near West Coast McDonalds) when this truck didn't stop and nearly hit the back of my car.

"Could have killed my wife and daughter who were seated at the back.

"The truck even horned when I was making the turning!

"I stepped on the accelerator when I sensed that the truck was not going to stop.

"And indeed, it managed to avoid colliding into my car and beat the red light.

"This happened tonight at around 8.40pm.

"I have seen many such speeding trucks along West Coast Highway."

Pressthatbutton let me help you put it on the other way to dicuss.
If you see a green arrow do you stop?
Just cross lor : no need to check did the car had stop.
Pressthatbutton even a primary school child will say: for you own safty dumbass please make sure check b4 crossing.
You you drive the way like jeremy , very soon you I/C will have a punch hole.

I am not convinced STOMPer did right!! Before you approach the junction, traffic light was GREEN...I.e. GREEN for oncoming vehicle too. You took right being at same speed.. You should be slowing down at the junction before you take right turn - I would have somewhat agreed to your action if you had green arrow!! Obviously what lorry did is wrong... And you are also not right..

No doubt you have the right of way, but again if the traffic is in your favour doesn't mean you can ignore that speeding truck. Defensive driving is still the best defense. Anyway you are lucky
