Do you stop at the red light in the middle of the night?

Like 2:00 am and you are the only car in a isolated street.

Always. It's the law. Besides, haven't you seen how many of those things have cameras? Or cops sitting just beyond the light?


Barrierbuster

If everyone think in the same way that it is useless to stop for signal in the mid of the night, then one who crosses the signal is most vulnerable to accidents. If you have concern about other and also about your safety, the other will feel ashamed it jump the signal see nobody breaking the rules.

Where I live they have been putting up Cameras at stop lights. When you cross a red light. It will automatically take a pic of your license plate. You will get a ticket in the Mail also.

this may sound complicated, but its quicker than waiting at a red light and its legal. heres what i do:
a quick right, then a quick u-turn, then a quick right to continue the direction i was going.
think about it.

a red light is a red light


Yep
I heard awhile back. When car jackings were around. When late at night, and the only car. You can go through a red light to be safe. An the cops ignored it. Or so I heard.

Almost always, but sometimes I know a light, and I know it's just red for nothing when I'm going home from a friend's at 3am. So 99% of the time yes, but that one light where I know it's just red so that the employees who aren't at the business it's in front of can't make a left hand turn because it's 3 am and everybody's in bed, no.

r u a cop?!

i go slowly and if there's no one on the perpendicular side, i go.


mari
yeah i do but there are sometimes that i just pass it


NONAME
You're supposed to. It's possible there's an emergency vehicle coming. (they can usually trigger the lights by remote) Or if there's a pedestrian in the crosswalk. Short of that: there's no realistic harm in doing so. You might catch the eye of a bored cop, and get a ticket for running the red though.


owensb01
Yeah. You never know if there's a cop hiding in the bushes up ahead or if the light has a camera on it.


El Mas Quentona
No not really, c'mon, you swear everybody actually follows the rules.

just watch out for the red light cameras.


stitchfan85
yeah. a lot of traffic lights have cameras that work 24/7 at taking pictures of people running red lights.

I'll stop, but I don't always wait for it to end. With more cities using cameras in the intersections though, I wouldn't recommend it any more.


Porterhouse
I come to a stop and look both ways... sometimes I go ahead, and sometimes the light turns green in that amount of time. I do this more with left turn arrow red lights than solid two way red lights. Legal, nope..... foolish, perhaps..... its sometimes referred to the "Newark rolling stop"


roostershine
If you can see really well where traffic comes from the sides, it's actually fun to stop at a green light and wait for it to turn red and THEN go, on that rare night when it suits your mood. Or out in the country in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the day.

You save it for the right moment, the right intersection I guess.

I like the red lights. They're always better when no one's around. You sit there and the whole intersection is yours.


f4fanactic
For most of them YES --but there is one that I just slow way down for and pass on thru!


LuciaLaLa
Yes, but I always feel like such a sap doing it. I'm not willing to risk points on my car insurance, though, when I just got my rates down!


plutoniccatgirl
I break them all the time.
I don't like the idea that I'm controlled by a computer some where telling me to do things that are completely un necessary.
