But the person wouldn't have gone forward if they hadn't honked. If someone died or was hurt, it would have been just as much their fault as the person on the phone.
Not really, he could have been honking for plenty of other reasons than the usual "hey dumby lights green." Could of been directed at somebody else entirely, could have been to let him/others know somebody else was doing something reckless, could have been to let him/others know an ambulance/cop was coming up, etc. Its entirely the guys own fault if he doesnt even think to look around for the reasoning behind the honk and just speeds into an intersection. Might the honker feel some remorse if it had caused a death? Sure, but the blame is not on them, its on the guy that drove recklessly into the intersection
I see nothing wrong with this because they shouldn't have been on the phone. Sucks for the people they hit but hopefully this'll be a wrong warning to the dick on his phone.
When you're honked at a set of lights you should before doing anything - what if it was an ambulance /cop car letting you know they were coming through?
