Dude. I just got a 200 dollar ticket for running a red light that was turning yellow to red. Like it was red as the back half of my car passed under the far light, it was close but I was in a hurry with my girlfriend and this fucking pig whips out of his speed trap and says he "has to" give me a ticket for that.
Like, okay, even if I BLATANTLY ran it I can't even justify 200 fucking dollars for it. The asshole must have needed to fill a quota or something because oh my god.
So anyways, I can't afford this right now. What are the chances I get in deeper trouble if I "forget" about it and never pay or pay late?
There probably will be a time in the future where I can afford it and then I'll pay but if not like what am I supposed to do lol? Can you imagine someone in a worse position than me getting that shit? Anyways fuck these assholes any normal person would've just let me off with a verbal warning but no USian fucking pigs have to funnel their money up
The phrasing is usually "Unless emergency braking is required", which is what you descirbed. Running a yellow light when you can reasonably slow down beforehand and stop is forbidden for everyone's safety.
It’s really damn confusing tbh. Like sometimes you have to accelerate to clear the intersection before it turns red bc you are going too fast to stop but will still miss the light. I always thought if you were in the intersection on yellow you were good. Anything else feels too subjective.
Anyway it’s stuff like this why I got a cheap dash cam, at least then you’re not open to some pig’s interpretation
