Your post actually brings up a good point. Per DOT regulations yellow lights are to be set according to the speed limit on the road. I remember a case down in Florida about a decade ago when they put those automatic red light ticket systems in. The cameras. So they could make more revenue and collect more tickets they shortened the time that the light was yellow. Well some people took the Company managing the system to court and the good old judge went out to the intersection himself with a stopwatch. Determined they had lowered the yellow light time by almost 3/4 of a second under what it should be. He made them pay back every single red light ticket ever given at that intersection.
Op, so yeah, you might look into if that yellow light time is set correctly. Unless you just ran a complete turned light.

I’m not looking for excuses but this happened at 2:30 am with only me and the cop in the intersection, and I belive he was hiding fishing for that light because when crossing, I didn’t see himRideandrepair Thanks this. -

I had TVC for a few years. Never used it. Got the 71/55 a few months after cancelling. Paid it and got another in Ky. Hired TVC. It cost extra upfront, I think $375 in 07. I kept it for a couple years. I haven’t had a ticket in 14 years. Thank God.

Most states YOU dont even have to show up. Wisconsin, I guess you have to pay the #### fine to even fight the ticket now I hear. No way that is constitutional, Im surprised the ACLU hasnt fought that.truckeagle Thanks this. -
I think Indiana has always been a no joke state as I recall. I just try to behave there. It does always work. he Austin Powers approach.
