Saw a stat years ago saying that if everyone did so, road fatalities would drop 20%. No way for me to verify this though.
Accident tonight

It was an accident. We don't put people in prison for causing accidents unless they were under the influence or committed gross negligence resulting in death.
Toast. Glad you didn't get hurt that looks bad.

Ah good times. I feel your pain. At least it was a company car. Glad you are ok.

No such thing as an "accident" only negligence, in this case running a red light.
So you're saying it was an "on purpose" and someone consciously decided to risk death and purposely ran the light to get into a wreck?
All the likely
we did the same, paused, looked both directions, saw stopped cars, and then the kid flew through the intersection and BAM!
They had no insurance, which they should have been ticketed for.
Glad you’re ok! It’s reasons like this I stopped riding motorcycles. Doesn’t matter how good you are. One idiot running a red light and you’re dead.
I don’t think driving uninsured should result in an incarceration, but if that person is it fault, at minimum they should be indebted to the other victims. Poor? Too bad, you made the decision. You break it. You buy it.

Yes but they won't go to prison for that.
There are typically four levels of responsibility in criminal law. Knowingly, Intentionally, Recklessly and Negligently. “Mens Rea”
If he has a job of any substance go after his wages with a court order. I had that happen to me many years ago and the other guy thought it was funny. The court didn't think so and attached 20% of his wages into an account for me. Don't let these lowlifes get off. Ed

Unbelieveable. A person chooses to run a red light and and put others at great risk. Getting hit by lightning or a falling tree while driving is an accident.
This. Ten years ago or so My light turned green. I looked over and a guy coming to my left wasn't stopping. He blew through the light.
Yes. The light was red, meaning they should not proceed through the intersection. They knowingly ignored it, and consequently hit the OP, showing a complete disregard for the lives of others. When I was an insurance adjuster, if someone ran a red light and caused a crash, they were 100% at fault.
Well they consciously and purposely drove without insurance !

Nah, it will show up in a buy here pay here lot one day!
Yes their fault but there was no mention that they knowingly ignored the red light as opposed to did not see it.
Like maybe if they were asleep or texting and didn't see the light, that makes it OK somehow?
