RLJ (Red Light Jumping). (The definitive bikeradar thread)

No you're a gray.

TW2 guess that answers my question

To stop at the traffic lights would have caused an accident, the driver behind me was driving too close so I decided to drive through. Do I have a defence?
If the light was red, it is not a defence. There are no circumstances for passing the stop line when the lights are red.

Did the driver not stop either, then? Were they also ticketed?

Notice says "Contravening automatic traffic signals". PC said "...going through a red light". I respect him even less now knowing that he is unable to recite offences by their proper titles. WAC.

If I managed to get through just before the lights turned red then there probably was time for me to stop... There. I said it. But fuck that! I had race face on trying to make those lights! As I always do. This is going to add at least 2 mins on to my future commutes now. Unacceptable.

Did you consent your details and sign anything?

just on a side note, is there a thread on dealing with the police and the 'law' aka legislation.

personally, if there isnt a victim there's isnt a crime.

Are you chatting about freeman on the land crap?

Unacceptable.

fuck that shit, geeeesus. google

let us into your secret? How do you beat the legal system?

With fluoride from the chem trails and vaccines.

have you tried this one weird trick?

If you don't stand up in court they can't imprison you.

If you thought it would be unsafe you did the right thing. I'd also argue that if you look behind and see a truck on fire flashing it's lights and sounding it's horn, then going through on red is fine too.

Didn't Chung get done for this? Turns out it's only a courtesy to get out the way and you're never meant to break the law to facilitate it.

Yeah, you're not supposed go through unless directly told to by the 5-0, however I would still go through rather than get squished by a runaway truck.

fuck that shit, geeeesus. google

Ah, the classic drive-by trolling of the conspiracy theorist: Make wild claim, don't stick around long enough to offer any solid evidence.

Didn't Chung get done for this?

Not strictly. The verdict of the hearing was based on the idea that the officer didn't put on his sirens and blues [bullshit] and that I ran the light of my own accord.
They took the officer's word over my footage so it was never shown whether it is legal or not to go through a red when directed to do so by an officer.
In future I will be as conservative as possible and not.

Although his was a slightly different situation....

I've since been sitting at the lights, carengering, when bobbies have showed up behind on the blues and twos tooting their horns making "why is this guy being a wanker" signs. Can't fucking win. I had half a mind to beckon one over and ask him to stand in the middle of the road and direct traffic so that I could pass through the red legally...

^^Oh I could have scrolled more before that reply.

Ever upload it or told road.cc?

Loads of drivers don't know that either and it boils my piss, at lots of pedestrian crossing the fuckers speed up on amber, one drove through the waiting pedestrians a few weeks ago with an apologetic hand held up as people started to cross, I was going to boot his wing mirror off but there's CCTV round there.

Can't stand the cunts who actually slow down. Junction means "accelerate!"
