Red light runner gets a healthy dose of instant karma

There's nothing more infuriating than a driver preoccupied with their phone.

A dash cam owner in Palo Alto, California, captured a red light runner meeting some instant justice. The clip starts with the owner of the dash cam approaching a green light at a four-way stop. Just as the driver enters the intersection, another driver in a white car runs the red light, forcing the camera owner to slam on the brakes.

"Get off your phone," the man yells to the driver in the white car, who proceeds down the block. Just moments later, a police cruiser heads towards the red light runner with its lights on, and pulls him over on the next block.

The dash cam owner's laugh at the end says it all.
