At a busy intersection on New South Wales' Hume Highway, a motorcyclist lawfully crossing on a green light was struck by a car that turned against a red, a moment captured on dashcam and shared widely in March 2022. Both parties survived, but the footage became something larger than a traffic incident — a mirror held up to the fragility of trust we place in traffic signals and in one another on the road. The collective response it drew speaks to a deeper, shared anxiety: that doing everything right offers no guarantee of safety when others choose otherwise.
