One guy timing the light, and the other turning late on the signal. Edit: Might be he was trying to catch the light. The other car I thought was stopped for the light might have been in the left turn lane, and gone through as the light changed.
Those sheets of ice aren't going to do any harm to vehicles. Pedestrians maybe, but then ice was falling from trees and buildings too so why obsess over vehicle ice, especially since it all fell on the road? It's kinda pretty actually.
To me it's just another example of how everybody is a safety activist these days. "OMG ice sheets, DO something!" Next thing you know there's a new law and another layer of bureaucracy but nothing that actually makes any difference. FFS people, there are REAL problems in the world that need our attention. They can't all be posted on YouTube but that doesn't mean they're not real problems.
"I got 99 real problems, but ice sliding off of vehicles ain't one."

If someone drives home drunk and makes it without killing anyone, everyone is fine but there's still a "real problem" that exists.Notice how everyone was fine?

Since when is a vehicle "someone"?

How many windshields are shattered by flying ice rather than all the other hazards left on the road? How much harm are we really preventing by expecting everyone to always clear off the ice from their cars, even when it's so thin as to be harmless (as in the videos of Toronto)?Notice how the driver was virtually blind and things could have ended far worse? The morning after the freezing rain I had to dodge three Metre square slabs of ice that went no less than 5 metres into the air, before coming down. One went high enough that I lost it in the lights. I would rather not have my windscreen smashed on a busy 427.
