I used to run yellow lights but now I slow down and stop as the light turns red.

So, you won't obey the law unless you fear getting caught? You need Big Brother watching over you for everything?

If one knows the customary yellow, one knows what is feasible and what is not. A camera that snapped half a second after the red, and on a light whose yellows at least met Federal standards, and which allowed maybe a second of mutual red time, would be more practically fairer. Give people some credit for having good will even if they do not have the best physical perception... and sooner or later the Napster will probably get barrelled into from behind where she wouldn’t otherwise have.

Cut him some slack ... we all live in different states ,, some have permissive yellow laws and some don’t ... permissive yellow was endorsed (but not made mandatory) by the “uniform Traffic Control Device” codes way back in the 1960’s ... some liberal hellholes like Maryland kept non-permissive yellow rules to “enhance” revenue collection. He never mentioned going through on RED ,, just not making a 110% effort to stop for a yellow...
