Oh-kay, so now that the new year is here it may be a good idea to make a resolution if you couldn't already think of a good one. Being that we're an automotive web site, I think we can help you out if you just haven't been that creative yet.
Don't run red lights.
Thanks to American Traffic Solutions and their YouTube video, you too can now see why running a red light -- whether out of carelessness or trying to beat the light -- is plainly a bad idea.
According to ATS' video, each year more than 100,000 people are injured and hundreds are killed in red light related incidents.
That said, check out the company's compilation of accidents or near misses involving a red light down below.
**Note: it seems all of the compiled footage was taken in my home state of New Jersey [face palm].
