Traffic light prank fools drivers

A number of drivers were caught out by practical jokers who placed traffic lights on a quiet road in the middle of nowhere and left them stuck on red.

After unsuccessfully waiting for a green light, some motorists would begin to sneak forward only to have their progress checked by a watching police officer nearby.

One driver even gets out of his vehicle to talk to the policeman, but as soon as he does the light turns green before changing back to red once he’s behind the wheel again. 

The pranks were caught on hidden cameras by JustForLaughsTV and while the victims were initially left infuriated they could see the funny side once let in on the joke.
