You’d think after we’ve written so many posts about drivers running red lights and failing there’d be fewer cases. This is why you guys should share our articles so that your friends will be made aware of the consequences of driving recklessly (i.e, being our next post)! What happened? A Volkswagen Jetta tried to run a red light after failing to give way to a red MPV that I believe is a Honda Stream. Don’t quote me on that second one though. The footage shows the Jetta speeding up at the intersection right as the MPV was turning, like he was going to make that gap at all. Bro definitely has Ayrton Senna as his favourite driver. On the other hand, the Jetta also has a turbocharger; so maybe just unfortunate timing? There is no information as to the conditions of both drivers. Online chatter Cue generic comments blaming the VW. Running a red light and immediately getting hit is pretty funny karma. Interestingly enough, the watermark in this video was significantly larger and partially obscured the important bits of the video. This didn’t escape netizens’ attention, leading to ridicule. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Many car manufacturers are finding ways to reduce their products' emission levels. For Volkswagen, it is going green upstream by taping on solar power in their manufacturing process. Volkswagen has just opened a huge solar park to provide power for their US plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The plant produces a version of the Passat that is exclusive to the North American market. The solar facility is expected to produce 13,100 megawatt hours per year thanks to the 33,600 crystal solar modules. The solar power generated will provide about 12.5% of the electricity required when the plant is operating at full capacity. Frank Fischer, CEO and chairman of Volkswagen Chattanooga, said, "This facility is a key part of our 'Think Blue Factory' programme and further proof of Volkswagen's worldwide commitment to environmental protection. Once again, we are setting standards in efficient, sustainable production." Volkswagen's latest commitment to environment might help to pacify the Greenpeace activists who recently protested against the carmaker's stance on the climate outside the Vienna car show.
