3. You seem to admit guilt, so maybe you should appear in front of a judge and ask for a reduced fine. [/quote]
I could…it might be a better approach than pleading not guilty.
[quote=EconProf]4. Turning right on a red light is actually quite dangerous to pedestrians and bicyclists. The latter especially, (I am one), may be moving pretty fast, are hard to spot, and are counting on you to stop. So-called rolling stops are common, but they condense the time for you to spot pedestrians or bicyclists.[/quote]
I know, I know, I am a bicyclist too.
As I’ve said, this was the case the right turn arrow has just disappearead and I thought it didn’t make sense to slam on the brakes and end up in the middle of the intersection anyway. My mistake was not slowing down at the YELLOW right turn arrow. But because the right turn arrow just disappeared, bikers & pedestrians would have just started from full stop. It wasn’t even that, as it was just 0.1 secs. I am totally for stopping fully at the red light. It’s ok that I feel guilty, but that doesn’t mean I have to pay that much 🙂
