A friend of the Arrive Alive website emailed a video clip captured on his dashboard camera of a bus driving at speed through a red traffic light this morning in Morningside. It is indeed alarming that so many road users [ seen in this clip] are not obeying the rules of the road at intersections.
With the speed this bus appears to drive at it may well be one of those red light “accelerator offenders”!
We will pass this along to the bus company and SABOA as well for further action!
