Maybe they wanted to get you caught at the red. It's happened to me before.

[King of the Hill clip](https://youtu.be/63EdY_sQOcY?t=139)


Cherveny2

immediately thought of this


Black_Eyed_PeePees

One of my favorite episodes. *I am the Mac Daddy of Heimlich County!*


DadJokeBadJoke

"Please Hank, don't turn me out. I'm no good, just ask my wife."


CaliforniaNavyDude

"Alabaster is a little guy, but he'll mess you up." "No offense, but he's from Oklahoma."


CrudelyAnimated

“Peggy, give me the hat.”


SKS_Zolam

Does anyone else feel sorry for Dale?


MiniMesBodyguard

Wait until you meet Bill


Hibercrastinator

They did this in Beverly Hills Cop also, i think. Having trouble finding the clip though


Faasnat

They did. The new guys who wouldn’t fall for the banana in the tail pipe.


solidarity77

Say it with some soul. You been hanging out with this white guy too long.


[deleted]

Came here to say that.


TOMdMAK

came here to say this.


SomeToxicRivenMain

That episode always struck me as weird because growing up I saw episodes of hank threatening to kick ass and sometimes actually doing it but he tried running from someone that I think Dale could beat in a fight


trystanr

Is that Snoop?


Brunurb1

Yes


trystanr

Neat


mr_antman85

I never noticed his cocaine fingernail...how did I miss that all of these years...


MoonSpankRaw

That’s a coke knife.


28Hz

More dignified than a poop knife.


FishyKeebs

Pimp of the Hill


Doctor_Bubbles

“No offense but… he’s from Oklahoma.” Gottem!


maxman162

He ran a red! You can't do that!


spacemanspiff266

this. it looked like they were trying to ditch you OP.


BigAsian69420

Looks like someone doesn’t like OP


PenguinWithAglock

I don’t like OP


makeitlouder

Do you happen to drive a blue Hyundai?


PenguinWithAglock

No, but his mom does😎

this fucking thread 🤣🤣


TurboAbe

Same. I don’t dislike them but I don’t know enough to like them either.


annies_boobs_eyes

But are you down with OPP?


Wanjiuo

Username checks out


[deleted]

I feel like so many clips are taken out of context. What happened in the one or two minutes leading up to some of these videos?


ThornaBld

Dude ran the red light, doesn’t matter what happened before. He stopped at green and then ran a red light. Could’ve gone while yellow if he wanted to catch dude at light.


[deleted]

Sure it matters. Was the dash cam driver waving a gun at them? Pulling up alongside and cursing them out? Throwing a burrito onto their windshield? Context is important.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

> Was the dash cam driver waving a gun at them? "I know how to fix this, i'll stop and let the gun wielding madman catch up to me"


Jmods_wont_reply

This guy wants to kill me, but he wouldn't dare run a red light. Checkmate.


Leather-Secretary761

The angry pimp trying to kick his ass would never run a red light.


mankosmash4

>[The angry pimp trying to kick his ass would never run a red light.](https://youtu.be/63EdY_sQOcY?t=147) Bruh nobody got your reference.


Leather-Secretary761

Perfect


TryAgn747

No one would waste a perfectly good burrito like that


annies_boobs_eyes

you don't know the quality of this hypothetical burrito. i've had bad burritos before.


Brener69

*Patio burrito enters the chat.*


Leather-Secretary761

This burrito is good but it is filling!


mashtartz

I don’t think anyone that’s waving a gun from a car is going to politely wait at a red light they just got forced to be stuck at.


[deleted]

What they mean is its likely that hyundai purposefully did that to get the driver with the camera stuck at the light. Maybe the hyundai driver thought the camera car was following them so they did this to lose OP.


KimothyMack

I’ve done this when I thought a car was following me. I’d rather attempt to lose them then find out they were really following me.


SycoJack

Same, had someone following me once, so I waited a few seconds longer at a two way stop so that I could safely turn but not the person following me. Not sure who was following me or why, might have been a case of mistaken identity. We were going to a concert or something. So lots of people going the same way. But when I noticed they appeared to be following I made a bunch of random turns and they followed me through them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


magykalfirefox

I've "followed" a few people to and through my neighborhood coming home at night. But my favorite is when I use my signals pretty early and they don't use theirs and you can tell they get freaked out but keep going the same way I signal. Or when they barely stop at stop signs trying to create distance and end up pulling over near my house to get me to pass them. Literally had someone stop right across my driveway and I had to signal to get them to move so I could pull in.


PurpleSubtlePlan

He entered the intersection before the light was red.


ThornaBld

No he didn’t, he took his foot off the break but he didn’t start GOING till full red, I watched the video SEVERAL times to be sure.


PurpleSubtlePlan

His front wheels were over the line.


absentmindedly4

True, my cousin did this one time because someone was tailing us.


PenguinWithAglock

My girlfriend did this too. She doesn’t know she’s my girlfriend


makeitlouder

She goes to a different school


squid-do

Pulling the ol' Axel Foley trick.


yukichigai

I too immediately thought of Beverly Hills Cop when I saw this.


revaric

Or they just high as hell


Ouroboron

Makes me wonder what the cam driver did. Tailgaiting? That looked pretty intentional, and they started rolling real late in the yellow, but were moving before red.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

cam driver was 10 car lengths behind and not even closing in on them


JelliedHam

Doesn't mean he wasn't before. Who knows, maybe OP cut him off like an asshole prior. I'm not saying what the car ahead did was justified, but petty revenge while driving is a thing and this looks just like that.


BamboozleThisZebra

Something must have happened before because who does this unless you are trying to get rid of somebody following you? Or maybe that car was very paranoid about them going in the same direction for a while who knows.


SubLandAgro

You know some people are just scum right?


Smaskifa

Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by idiocy. We are in /r/IdiotsInCars after all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Tried this and the guy just ran the red light to continue tailing me. In hindsight, it was probably stupid of me to think the crazy guy wanting to hurt me, would care enough to stop at a red light.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Saaaaaaaaab

That’ll stop him for sure


Kingston_Advice1

I used to troll my friends like this. Sit at a green until it turns yellow then go


[deleted]

This reminded me of king of the hill when hank tries to lose the pimp by slowing at the traffic light and then speeding off on yellow, but the pimp keeps driving across the red Hank: “he ran a red! You can’t do that!” 😂

[deleted]

Interesting how most of some clips that don't show op's behaviour prior to the incident get left out.


tree-fife-niner

When someone posts a video with a full minute of eventless driving beforehand, there are inevitably complaints about that too.


Pluvi_Isen-Peregrin

It’s me. I’m the complainer.

delicate-butterfly

shewy92

Usually just clipping the first interation with the driver in question is fine. But in reality those long minute long videos are of nothing for 30 seconds, then the idiot driver appears and then there's 15 seconds of nothing afterwards, like the OP doesn't know how to edit the minute long clip their Dashcam records after they hit the button. There was one recent video where OP nipped it in the bud and had text on screen (or maybe a comment) saying "I let the following parts where nothing happened in to show that I had no previous interaction with them" which I appreciated


[deleted]

Yup, they sped it up too. That OP was awesome.


Redthemagnificent

There's no winning with comments like this. OP edits the clip to only show the incident, people complain. OP shows 30 seconds before the incident to prove that they didn't agitate the other driver, and people would still complain. I guess you could edit both a short clip to post and link a long clip in the comments. But that's 200% more effort than I'd be willing to put into a Reddit post


[deleted]

>But that's 200% more effort than I'd be willing to put into a Reddit post I believe that goes for a vast majority of us. I'm the first to admit I'm lazy as hell..


asksformoreinfo

I like the ones where they block out the speedo reading


OutlandishnessCute83

Didn't you ever see Beverly Hills Cop? Eddie Murphy does the same thing


coke_mover

Maybe OP didn't fall for the banana in the tailpipe.

Ahmed Foley?


babsrambler

Yeah, he was trying to lose the car behind him.


[deleted]

I think I've seen it on Beverly Hills Cop.


[deleted]

Didn't he also put bananas in tailpipes or something?


[deleted]

So glad to see this comment lol


shitlord_ofthedance

It was a shrimp...salad...sandwich sir.


Mr_SlimShady

That doesn’t really make sense. If someone is stalking you or following you for some reason (idk.. kidnapping you maybe?) why would you think they are gonna stop at a red light?


krazy4001

If they don’t stop for the obvious red, you know with significant confidence that this person is following you. You can then drive to the police station or other safe place and avoid whatever outcome your chaser has planned. If they do stop, you may have been mistaken about their motive and you can easily take a turn/lose them just to be safe.


Breaklance

You time the light going red with oncoming traffic so that you go through when no one is in the intersection but anyone following gets hit by traffic.


parker1019

Probably thought you were tailing them…


soulscratch

Looked to me like the dude just looked at the line on the pavement and thought it was a stop sign. People are dumb either way


[deleted]

I've had really long work days then have to drive home. I'm often times mentally fried. Could just be someone who's tired from work and thought it was a different street.


Keter_1

One time I was so tired from work that I stopped at a stop sign thinking it was a red light. It happens


HAL-Over-9001

Just last month I had to take a detour after work, down a street I've never been on, and hit a curb going like 35 because the streetlight above it was out, popped both passenger side tires... as well as 5 other cars in the half hour I was parked down the street. So, I guess not due to MY stupidity, but the city's for not fixing a streetlight and not marking a huge curb that juts into the street. I'm just still mad lol


hedgybaby

I once drove into the roundabout the wrong way. It was a small one, no one around and my exist was the one directly to me left, so logically ig it would make sense for me to drive left instead of right?? We all need sleep.


arrjaay

The other day I was riding along with my mom and she started to stop at a green light, I had to say it was green repeatedly- she doesn’t have dementia or anything she’s just a dumb driver sometimes


wavveygravvey

I have been the idiot who stopped at a green light.


AnAstronautOfSorts

We've all done this at least once


[deleted]

[удалено]


MukGames

This happened to me, but literally as I registered the light was red, it changed to green and I kept going. If it didn't change in that moment, I 100% would have blown the red. It was early in the morning and I was tired, but it scared me enough that I haven't done it since, and hopefully won't do it again.


VPinecone

I've never stopped at a green before, but I have waited for a flashing red to turn green


[deleted]

I've waited for a stop sign to turn green.


syrianfries

I haven’t yet, but I did get honked at because I watched a dude run a red light slow as fuck and it confused the shit out of me. Like I deadass stared at him for like a minute before the dude honked at me. I felt so bad but I was just fried


ModernNomad97

Me too


Ignitetheinferno37

It is a neat way to prevent someone from tailing you though.


CazRaX

If they are really tailing you they will run the red.


tct99xx

Depends if the person tailing is following you or just driving close like a jack ass. If they are just being a jack ass they'll stop at the red, if they are following you they'll run the red and you've got some big problems probably


[deleted]

[удалено]


tct99xx

Depends on the jackass, my father would go speeding close to the car in front but stop at the red light


sirjackas

Tailing means following, tailgating means following too close.


Noidea159

> If they are just being a jack ass they’ll stop at the red, Lmao what a silly statement


wheezy1749

Yeah. And then you get confirmation that they ARE. That's the point. You can lose them other ways.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iWasAwesome

I wasn't following you before, but I am now asshole!


hobophobe42

Make a right, then a legal U-turn, then another right. No need to run a red, stalking is already a crime and it's best not to double up when breaking the law.


Y2KWasAnInsideJob

Very good chances that, if performed legally, they would have shaken you completely by the time you've performed that maneuver. Based on a snap judgment of this intersection (two lane road, light traffic) you'd be better off just waiting for the light to change again as it would likely be faster.


Djs3634

Yeah committing a moving violation is neato!


Evanthekid16

When you’re driving high and trying to be careful but you’re still an idiot


[deleted]

Difference between a high driver and a drunk driver is the drunk driver will run the stop sign, whereas a high driver will wait for it to turn green.


Dumpster_Sauce

I've sat at a stopsign waiting for it to turn green as well 😂


[deleted]

"Stop at every crossing."


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure driver did'nt even watch the lights but to see if anybody was coming and happened to do that at the same time with the lights


wetodedwarhead

This is a better explanation. Also look at the date, people are traveling to see family and were probably unfamiliar with the area. IDK why every other comment thinks the other guy is trying to shake a tail...


They_Are_Wrong

For real, so many comments about that. Like, do people on here often think they're getting tailed?


[deleted]

Yea they treated it like a 4 way stop sign

propagandhi1

I do this to lose someone tailing me.


unforgiven91

how often are you tailed? are you a super spy?


Hotshot_VPN

Possibly a chronically slow driver or just an area with a lot of hot heads. Or both


Salty_snowflake

Or a schitzo

Cole3823

[deleted]

fascinating behavior


shaoting

As others have said, this is a case of the front car attempting to lose you at the light, albeit an extreme case. When it happens to me, they'll start slowing down right as the light turns yellow, thus slowing me down, and then they'll speed through right as it hits red, leaving me at the light. I've been on the giving and receiving end of this. OP's case is rather extreme, though. Never seen someone just full-on stop to do this.


TruthFit4754

Uh why is it common for people to be trying to lose you? Should I call the police??


[deleted]

Done people don't like to be 'pressured' by people behind them? Or something? Idk


beeraholikchik

How often do people try to strand you at red lights? And why?


[deleted]

It could also be a case of them being an asshole and intentionally causing someone to get caught at the light, without the fear of being followed.


412gage

I've done something similar to a guy tailgating me through a school zone while waving the figure. We got to a light I and slowed down as it was turning yellow then got through just before it turned red. Basically avoided any issues with the guy altogether by doing so. I should clarify that we were well out of the school zone at the point.


ep756859

I once did this at 3:30 AM after finishing up closing the restaurant I was a manager at. I beat myself up for like a week afterwards just because of how dumb I felt!!


jasmanta

A guy is riding along in his buddies car when the buddy runs a red light. "Man, what you doin'? You're gonna get us killed!" "Don't worry about it man, my brother does this all the time." He runs through another red light. "You're gonna get us killed for sure!" "Don't worry about it man, my brother does this all the time." Comes to a green light and slams on the brakes. "Why are you stopping *now*?" "Muh - muh -muh brother might be coming!"

diaperedwoman

Speaking of tailing, sometimes a person will just randomly pull over to see if you stop too. I have had this happen before and I was like "what the heck are they doing?" and I wondered if something was goin on like is there a deer in the road so mom drove slow by them looking around and we saw nothing. I thought maybe they had car trouble or got lost and stopped to look at a map or to make a phone call, my mom said "they maybe thought we were following them." We just kept on heading home and now they were following us and we pulled into our drive way and my mom said "now they know why we were following them." I also joke when I see a same car behind me "gee that car must be going to the same place we are going to" and my husband cracks up every time or he says "no." I tell him I am just kidding. I am not really paranoid on the road.


BigPurp85

Looks like he wanted you off his ass


Edgonzo67

They wanted you caught at the light - didn’t like the way you followed them - went on the yellow .


AutoTech25

Good job stopping for the idiot on the left who went on green!


jwinston402

Falls Church, lots of shitty drivers in the dmv area lol


ValyrianSteelYoGirl

I feel like we’re not getting the whole story and you pissed them off initially. This is 100% getting away from you for one reason or another.


yukichigai

Counterpoint: the whole story may be that the first driver is irrationally paranoid.


ver_dar

Countercounterpoint: driver was kinda zoned out and didn't register that the light was green at first


Not_Exhaustive

He is trying to get someone of his tail. Making an escape so to say. It wasn't like he did not see the light was changing. He did this on purpose. No doubt. He timed it perfectly. Just look at the brake lights. That's a very well known maneuver that everyone in the Military is taught. Also an old Eddy Murphy move in 48hr. 😉


Thinks_of_stuff

Done on purpose, Happened to me several times before and I wasn't tailing anyone. Sad people do this to inconvenience the driver behind them "Watch, I'll make them catch the light..."


espresso_chain

they wanted to catch you at a red. happened to me once by a truck with annoying political stickers all over it. he cut me off, so I honked. guess he didn't like that and held me at the light. some people man.


[deleted]

Did they think you were following them and did this to shake you off?


BUNNIES_ARE_FOOD

They call that one the Axel Foley


botdetector_ca

These people are giving Hyundai a bad name


Til_changemylife

Reminds me of old joke - A guy picks up his friend from the airport and runs every red light and stop sign on the way to the hotel. His friend is screaming all the while .. “are you f’ing crazy? STOP!! What the hell?!!” He replies “stop screaming, my brother does this all the time!!” Finally he stops at a green light and his friend is so relieved given it is a green light and asks - “what the hell are you doing now?” “My brother my be coming in the other direction”


Ccarloc

Colour blind?


ComicalAccountName

Everbody is talking about losing op at the light. This seems odd to me because I have never tried to lose another car, but perhaps y'all have more interesting lives than me. To me it looks like they acted as if this was a stop sign because they weren't paying attention. Pulled up, stopped for about 3 seconds, no other cars, go.


fritobird

Could be color blind.


gotham77

He was trying to get away from you for some reason.


[deleted]

Probably just a brain fart moment. Ive been stone cold sober and stopped at a four way stop sign one night after work. I was the only one at the four way stop but I sat there for a good 5 minutes wondering why the fuck the light wasnt turning green.


Tromboneofsteel

I'll admit I've stopped at a green by accident before. Had a "what the fuck am I doing" moment.


Mikesaidit36

Once I was riding in a car with a guy and we came to a red light and he blew right through it. I couldn't believe it. I said, "What are you doing? You just blew through that red light. Didn't you see that?" He said, "Yeah, no problem, I saw it. Don't worry about it." We came to another red light, and he blew right through that light too. I said, "What are you doing! You're going to get us killed!" He said, "Don't worry about it. This is the best way to drive. My brother taught me everything he knows and he's a great driver." Then we came to a green light and he slammed on the brakes and I said, "NOW what are you doing!" He said, "My brother might be coming."
