You're a pretty bad driver! Do you just not notice those lights hanging in the air above intersections?

ohh, i also ran a red light a couple nights ago, but wasn't caught. i was stopped at a red light to make a left turn and when i saw the car next to me drive off, i did the same. i saw his/her green light and then halfway into the turn, i saw that i had a red light.

strange thing is, i was on my way home from work, and i know the area really well. i must have been daydreaming... :eek:

I'm glad someone wasn't coming too, but it was entirely my fault. I was in a weird area of town and it was late. I thought the intersection had stop signs, so I didn't even look for a light. Like I said it was 100% my fault.

Question for ATers: Is making a right turn on a red light without stopping first give a running a red light ticket or some other ticket? Just curious because an officer gave my mom a red light ticket for doing that a while back.
