Shocking footage that like.
I see people running red lights every day, I saw one yesterday.
Coming off the Northern Spire then me and another car pulled up side by side at the lights that lead to Sainsbury's.
A car came up in the slip lane to that supermarket and then ran the light and continued STRAIGHT ON towards North Hylton Road where he had to stop.
I am on the road for up to 12 hours a day and this sort of thing is rife.

Should only be acceptable if you go through an amber because you didn't have time to stop.. some people deliberately go through when they have plenty of time to stop though, it's just impatience.

If stopping under normal circumstances would take you over the solid white line then you can go through on amber without a problem.
That's a decision we all have to take many times daily but I see deliberate acts and they usually have no intention of stopping.

Spot on. Some of them are just dangerous
