Seriously, I am now selling the SUV next month and going back to something sportier, faster responding and that stops quicker.  |
You might have a good court case. "glimpse of yellow"? Perhaps there are national or state standards on the length of time a yellow needs to be. I'd go back to the intersection with a stopwatch...also measure the width of the street. I beat a long ago red light ticket (Trap) by using TSD math, proving it was possible to enter the intersection on green and the light turning red before you got through it when driving the posted limit. Luckily, I got an honest judge. Said he was going to have a talk with someone about this...got the feeling I wouldn't want to be that someone.
