Ben Gvir�s car flips over after running red light, minister lightly injured

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir�s vehicle flipped in a car accident while leaving the scene of a terror stabbing on Friday in the central city of Ramle, police said. Video from the scene showed his car running a red light.

Police said two vehicles were involved in the collision and five people were taken to hospital after being lightly injured.

Ben Gvir�s office said the minister was in good condition and conscious, but was taken to the nearby Shamir Medical Center for further treatment. He was staying in the hospital overnight for observation.

A later statement said one of his daughters, a guard and his driver were also among the injured, as was the driver of the other vehicle. Hebrew media reported that Ben Gvir and his daughter were not wearing seatbelts.

The 23-year-old driver of the other car told Ynet that he was suffering from severe pain throughout his body.

�I drove through a green light, and Ben Gvir�s entourage entered the junction on a red light,� he said. �I have no history of traffic infractions. My whole body hurts, and most likely I won�t be released from the hospital tonight. I still need to get scans done and it seems likely I have fractures in my ribs and my neck.�

Pictures from the scene showed the minister�s black official vehicle flipped over, while another car had a smashed-in front.

Police said they were investigating the cause of the crash. Hebrew media said Ben Gvir�s driver was being questioned under caution.

Ben Gvir�s office later claimed that his car ran the red light for operational reasons because he was �a threatened minister in a mixed [Arab and Jewish] city.�

Video footage taken from the dashcam of a vehicle at the scene of the accident shows Ben Gvir�s official vehicle running a red light.

The video shows the black sedan arriving at the junction and slowing almost to a complete stop at the red light. It then pushes into the intersection. The first vehicle it cuts across manages to brake in time to avoid hitting it, but a second car plows into the minister�s vehicle, causing it to overturn.

One of Ben Gvir�s accompanying security vehicles also followed him through the red light intersection but was not hit.

This is not the first time Ben Gvir�s official vehicle has been involved in a car accident.

In August last year, the hard-right minister was involved in another accident when his vehicle ran a red light while on the way to an interview.

According to a Haaretz report in September, the Shin Bet unit in charge of guarding public figures raised the issue with the Prime Minister�s Office and the National Security Ministry, after Ben Gvir�s bodyguards complained that the minister regularly ordered his drivers to commit traffic infractions, endangering not only his own life but those of his driver and bodyguards.

�He drives around like he�s the prime minister. There�s no chance he�ll sit around in traffic,� an unnamed source told Haaretz then. �This will end in disaster.�

According to the report, traffic infractions have been committed during journeys that were not emergencies, like driving to Knesset meetings and TV interviews.

Documents seen by Haaretz showed that Ben Gvir has frequently broken the law while behind the wheel himself.

Since he began driving in 2000, the minister has been caught running red lights, using his phone while driving, speeding, crossing solid white lines and driving without a seatbelt, among a long list of 78 infractions, the Kan public broadcaster revealed in September.

In response to Kan�s report, Ben Gvir claimed then that the Israel Police had compensated him with NIS 25,000 ($6,500) for wrongful arrests and that his infractions �became obsolete years ago.�

Ben Gvir has been indicted dozens of times, mostly for disturbing the peace during his time as a far-right activist, though he was exonerated in almost all the cases. The Jerusalem District Court in 2008 convicted him of incitement to racism and supporting a terror organization over a placard he held reading �Arabs out� following a Palestinian terror attack in Jerusalem and anti-Arab signs he had in his car that referred to the far-right Kach movement, a Jewish group that was banned as a terror organization.

In coalition talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he demanded and received authority over the police after being elected to the Knesset in 2023, after running a campaign in which he promised to restore law and order.

Comments on a post where a guy racked up twenty‐five speeding tickets since January:

quote:

Guy drives through the area often, not knowing there were cameras, so he hasn't really had the "corrective" action happen to him until it all piled up until now.

I generally try to stick to the flow of traffic rather than the speed limit when I'm driving, which I realize isn't the greatest practice, but if I was getting hit by speed cameras and didn't know, I would also probably keep on keeping on, and rack up a shitload of citations as well.

Hopefully he doesn't end up on the hook for all of them, and going forward stops speeding.

the safest speed you can go is gunning it to 60 as soon as the light turns green so everyone in the neighborhood can hear your car coming, alerting them

It keeps you from getting melanoma on your window-side arm/face, that's actually a thing that happens over a lifetime of driving.

Also a good argument to stay out of the car I guess.

tinting is awful, because as a cyclist or pedestrian, you can't make eye contact with the sociopath in there. i trolled a local reddit post saying as much, because no one regulates tinting here and got this nonsensical creepy reply:

"Meet me on main. I�ll make eye contact with ya buddy. I�ll even buy you some common sense."

I've seen so many wrapped teslas around, and they're never anything interesting like holograms or color changing vinyl, just not quite gloss, not quite matte, but a different color blue, $5k surcharge. There's at least a couple black wrapped cybertrucks driving around that opted for the $6k wrap which idk, feels like it defeats the purpose of the steel? It has no challenging corners or even door handles to deal with, you could get your kid to do it with a hair dryer.

Most people with heavily tinted windows are rear end in a top hat drivers who love the anonymity of driving around in a mystery box that no one can see inside.

They also often have obscured plates too. Either tinted or yellowing plate covers to make it hard identify the car as they speed or blast through red lights.

I�m in favor of impounding those cars on principle.

Yeah intentionally obscured license plate should be some sort of extreme immediate penalty, but of course it'll never happen because half the people with obscured license plates are cops
