VIDEO: Sometimes we don’t realize just how illegal and dangerous things are until we see them from an outsider’s view. This reader submitted video taken on Tuesday on Clifton Avenue, shows a driver at a red light making a K-Turn in the middle of Clifton Avenue. To make things worse, the turn was made in middle of a crosswalk, while the pedestrians had the right of way.
This dangerous violation can carry multiple summonses along with hefty fines.
This video and other similar ‘Caught on Camera’ videos are posted on TLS for all to see as an awareness to use more caution on the roads, and perhaps prevent serious accidents by exercising more courteous driving habits. TLS-55.
wow a u-turn 🙂
this illegal u turn is something I see regularly in Lakewood.
why not set up videos all over our town this would generate mega dollars in revenue ,maybe our taxes would even go down.
This is common on Lakewood!!!!
Scooper, u should print the owners name & address.
The driver did nothing wrong he/she could not make a normal left turn due to the BIG snow pile that was in front. Sorry want 2 be dash cam guy.
About 14 or 15 years ago there was a frum couple that was arrested in middle of sheva brachos for making a u turn on clifton ave. The overzealous cop wasn’t satisfied to give them a ticket. He promptly arrested them and they spent a few hours in jail-in middle of sheva brachos! All for a u-turn.
turn this (moderated) over to the cops. He is endangering everyone. How about suspending the license of said driver for 6 months and watch how fast this trash stops.
Driver get a ticket, Filmer get a life.
Hey, he needed to get a bagel and hot coffee to drive around with while making illegal turns!
i saw a car with 5, yes 5, small kids in the rear seat, and not one of them were properly seated in a child seat.
EXCUSE ME DUDE SINCE WHEN IS THE PILES OF SNOW IN MIDDLE OF CLIFTON AVE INTERSECTION???? and 2nd i was behind her in the right lane the left lane was clear with no snow since when is a k turn called a left turn????? i was the one that shot the camera nice try sorr y eli manning
To #6: Good. I’m glad they were taken care of. It’s about time EVERYONE follows the law. Look at the mess Lakewood is in.
#6 what rock are you smoking. There is no way in the world that an officer in Lakewood or anywhere else in the state of NJ would arrest someone for “Only Making a U-turn”. Nor is there a supervisor in the PD that would let that happen. News Flash #6, there are very few motor vehicle offenses that law enforcement can arrest for. Some of those offenses are driving while intoxicated, driving while suspended just to name a few. So please get real or get educated.
to the guy who took the video its alot more dangerous to take videos while driving then 2 make a k turn so stop taking videos and concentrate on your driving instead of holding up traffic on clifton ave
you dont have to tack a video of every move some
one takes?
To #14, FYI, she was at a RED LIGHT. She was not holding up traffic nothing!
Man, I can’t believe the audacity of some people. To make a K-turn right in the middle of a busy intersection! Isn’t the municipality just down the block?? Where’s a cop when you need one?
Thanks # 16
motor vehicle laws do not apply in lkwd!!! it`s every one for themselves.
half of lkwd doesn`t know what that little lever is for on the right side of their cars steering column.
I must agree this is very common in lakewood and besides most people not knowing how to drive i hardly ever see children in carseats!
Unfortunately, this occurs often in Lakewood. No one is ever around when it occurs. Some people think that they are above the law and don’t care about the safety of others. To the person who said the driver couldn’t make a left turn, what’s the rush – wait until it’s safe to turn. Nothing is so important that you risk the lives of others.
