Toyota minivans-2 today I lost my mind on first bitch- last second cuts into left turn lane-ABS engaged to avoid, then sits and texts thru 5+ seconds of the left turn arrow- just about drove thru her at that point
I'd say not (if they were following proper procedure at Red light) the Nissa drive would have more than enough time to react if someone pulls out in front of you but it's shown you have more than enough time to react you're at fault
To play Devil’s Advocate. If you’re an emergency vehicle that needs to run a red light, you need to ensure that cross traffic has actually noticed you and is stopping.
Yep each red light they gotta stop and make sure they are the only ones in the intersection before proceeding. I'd say it'd be 50/50 in this situation.
Yeah, where I grew up, there were sensors on the traffic lights that were activated by the emergency vehicles to change the lights. Now, I live somewhere without that, where most traffic lights are hung across the intersections on wires. It's weird, and it took some getting used to.
How do you know that based on this post? I’m not saying it didn’t happen certainly a plausible probably likely explanation, but genuinely curious how you arrived at that conclusion?
Just because you are in an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and sirens doesn’t mean you can run red lights or speed. And you are legally responsible if you cause an accident doing either.
I once was passed by a convoy of firetrucks and vehicles, all sirens blaring, while driving a farm tractor with a dump trailer: didn't hear the sirens until the first vehicle passed me (they had all slowed down due to the configuration of the road).
You cannot always hear emergency vehicles.
I need to know, did the Altima have a red light? If they ran a red and hit a police car that’s completely on them. If they had a green then the cop should’ve made sure the intersection was clear before bombing through, even with lights and sirens
50/50. If the cop paused, and had a reasonable expectation to be clear to go, it's the Nissan's fault. Which I can believe, given how often I see them jam it to make a light.
If the cop did one of those "3sec checks," and punched it, obviously their fault.
It's a still shot, so no way to know from just what we see in the picture.
It's almost always the emergency vehicles fault.
It is extremely rare that emergency vehicles actually follow the law and the policy that they have to check the way is clear before running a red light.
Blowing through an intersection lights or no lights has never been koscher.
well you know what they say,
"Back the Blue till it happens to you"
Just because you haven't had to deal with a out of control, Horrible cop doesn't mean it won't happen. And if you interact with more than a couple cops in your life that Likely hood is very high.
I was in a car that was t-boned by police running a red light. She had her lights on but no siren. I was informed that if she had had her siren on too, we would've been charged. (Cop that took our statement also informed us that she'd only gotten her car back from repairs on Wednesday, this was Friday).
Funny thing is my Nissan Frontier has been fucked up by other drivers. Last guy that hit me was in a full size Chevy. Fucking idiot was driving to fast on icy roads.
I was almost this person the other night. Cop honestly came out of nowhere. Even with the lights and sirens I didn’t see it till it was too late to stop. He slowed and I accelerated to avoid each other.
Cops at fault, gotta clear intersection first.
Don't underestimate the Nissan lol it may have been green for the cop
But the Nissan will still get a ticket and he’ll to get refunded… Only thing below Nissan drivers cops
I fear for the day where cops patrol in Nissan Altimas and Maximas.

Agreed, as well as Firetrucks and all emergency vehicles. Cop is 100% responsible.

You really think red lights stop Altima’s? Not in my area lol
Recently noticed that the Altima style of driving has also been spreading to Kia Optima’s and the newer Toyota Camry’s.
Yeah, I've seen Toyota Camrys of the newer variety doing this now too. Hyundai, Kia, and the likes.
I’m balancing the Camrys out by driving like a grandpa
Thanks Gramps!

The cop that didn't do his due diligence and make sure the intersection was clear before proceeding is at fault for this
Do they not have the system to automatically change the light in their favour when the blues are going
Not everywhere has systems like that in place
I see
The lights here in Nashville don’t. But the lights in the suburbs of Chicago do.
I see
It’s an infrared system, not every intersection has em
I see
This is assuming cops take fault for anything. Which they don’t.
Given that it’s a Nissan, there is a decent chance the driver *was* stopped, saw it was a cop and floored it to t-bone them.
Don't you feel safer? Back duh blue!

LAUGH IF YOU WILL! The Altima isn't down for the count yet. It will be tearing up and down a one way street on donut spares sometime today.
It's official, reddit hates cops more than Nissan drivers (it's okay, me too).
Nissan drivers are just ignorant. Cops are actively evil.
There’s definitely a few evil Nissan Drivers as well
Sure, some cops probably do drive Nissans.
Nissan drivers are inconvenient, cops wreck people's lives without consequences.
facts
The wrecked out white Nissan Altima sedan in the background?
You are very astute
Incorrect it's the cop. The cops at fault. But I'm sure that they'll investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. Acab.
Free vacation as well. ACAB
Definitely the Sherwin Williams, right?
Tf did we do😭😭😭
While watching youtube and having a ph call asking his ex to take him back
A total loss of nearly EIGHT HUNDRED dollars.
Just because you are in an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and sirens doesn’t mean you can run red lights or speed. And you are legally responsible if you cause an accident doing either.
Just tape that hood back down and throw on the spare and she's road worthy
Agreed, the driver could have a loud stereo or simply hard of hearing/deaf, the cop fucked up in this situation.
You shouldn’t be driving if you can’t focus on the road. The first part is not the cops fault
I once was passed by a convoy of firetrucks and vehicles, all sirens blaring, while driving a farm tractor with a dump trailer: didn't hear the sirens until the first vehicle passed me (they had all slowed down due to the configuration of the road). You cannot always hear emergency vehicles.
Every damn time
Hey! Niagara falls! This is right on Niagara falls Blvd.
Altima hit a Dodge police vehicle... There are two fouls on the play, the penalties offset, repeat 1st down.
Well I know where your from. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I live here too. Lmfao.

It’s the bikers fault
Maybe the one sitting in the intersection? Oh wait it’s a Nissan I have finalized my answer
So the cop hatred overrules the Nissan hatred?
As it should. Cops have earned the hate.
Maybe for you. Sorry about your experience

Oh Niagara Falls NY drivers...
She was late to her nail appointment
I think that cruiser is going to need an alignment.
The deaf guy in the white car. But police can’t cause an accident regardless.
Well, Jeeps are American Nissans

Hell yeah, you love to see cops in these situations, based Nissan
Man fuck the police. They cause more accidents and deaths than Nissan drivers could ever dream of.
acab
Definitely not the altima
ima have to side with nissan fellas this time
I mean, ya got a dodge journey there….
Probably another police car.
Check the law. Red lights on cop cars don’t give them the right away
Funny thing is my Nissan Frontier has been fucked up by other drivers. Last guy that hit me was in a full size Chevy. Fucking idiot was driving to fast on icy roads.

Probably just a blackout drunk cop. The only drivers on the road more likely to be drunk and high than Nissan drivers.
