Red light issues...

Rolling a "PINK" light. Your going to have a bad day.

 

###### if you do, ###### if you don't... that's really not true. I mean to us drivers it's true, because in our head there is no way that we're going to slow down sooooo slowly for EVERY light. That would be RIDICULOUS!! It really would. And the law doesn't expect us to do that either really. But in the even that we happen to go through a red light and be cited for it, then all the have to do it point to the rules and say, this is what you agreed to, by being a licensed driver (commercial or otherwise)

 

The way I understand it, your truck is your home and your home can't run a red light so the ticket must be in error.

 

I have faced this dilemma. If I'm in a town on a highway with a relatively high speed and stop lights, my odds of running lights greatly increase. The wisdom says to slow down on stale green lights but you're also impeeding traffic this way if you're going half the speed limit. There have also been times where if I didn't slow down, I'd have made the light but instead im sitting at the intersection because I did. I also don't want to trigger the Qualcomm with a hard brake event either.

Still not sure how to approach it.

 

Then you were going too fast four that curvy downhill. You must be able to stop your CMV safely and within the confines of the law.

 

Last time a cop tried to give me a ticket for that, I called the US Marshalls. Within 3 seconds of calling, a helicopter landed at the intersection and whisked the copper away. He was never seen again.
