Hey guys, you make some good comments about being aware of what is going on around you. It's a tricky situation to be in on our roads though and it's very hard to know what to do. Things happen so fast!
Let's say he did see the driver coming and wasn't stopping. Yes he could have gunned his car forward but let's not forget they were sitting at a red light so if he did, he's going out in that intersection where some other innocent person could be coming through right at the instant he goes in there and then you have even more innocent victims. If it happened fast enough he may not have been able to tell if it was safe to go out in that intersection or not. Not that he should be thinking about anything other than saving his own life and his families, but it's a fine line out there on those roads.
It's impossible to know how you would react in a situation like that although you'd like to think you could see it and react accordingly.
