oh jesus... if you're following the speed limit and the lights change to amber when you're too close to stop, you'll go through on amber. if it changes to red before you go through, you would have had plenty of time and space to stop. simple as that </BLOCKQUOTE>

Not really I was going at 20-25mph and up comes amber. Now there is no way I can stop in time for me to be before the lights, well I could slam on the breaks but that would cause the driver behind me to ram into me.

So I had no choice but to carry on. As I pass the lights, the lights changed from amber to red. Which makes me wonder if I got clocked.

Low and Go don't rhyme ffs.

retired_abess

They do if you say them in english, rather than the phlegmish.

circlewalker

They only rhyme if you have a speech impediment.

That includes some dialects, like whatever you lot speak in Hull.

no, trust me... if you were really going 20-25mph and the lights changed to red just as you went over the line you would have had PLENTY of time to stop. I can stop safely from twice that speed when the lights in front of me change


also kudos to bdcuk for the most spectacular bite I think I've seen all year

here in oz its green &gt; amber&gt; red&gt; green.

amber to stop unless your in a position where you cant safely do so and so u just drive on through.

however in reality if it hits amber and drivers can safely stop in time and are close to the lights they will more often push themselves to pass it instead of being caught and waiting for the light to turn green again.

OK so it's been 3 weeks now since I committed this crime and still no letter has come through the door.

Have I escaped the impossible? Or because the postal strike is storting itself out the letter is probably on it's way?

retired_pneeru

Only been 2 weeks?

retired_linton_justin

been caught twice then?
