I got stopped by a highway patrol that was following me for about five miles a few years back. I approached a intersection where I was going to make a left turn, I had a green light and committed to make the turn. In the mean time the light turned yellow and then red while I was still making the turn. The highway patrol turned the red light on me because he claimed that my toad did not quit clear the intersection in time when the red light come on.

He approached on the passenger side and knocked on the door. Wife opened the door and I stayed in the drivers seat. Police acted kind of nervous and was talking real fast to where I could not understand half of what he was saying. So I told him to slow down and talk a bit slower so I could understand him. He claimed he was hoping I would clear the intersection, but that I had not and he had to do his job. I told him you can not make a turn with a coach like an automobile because things would be flying off the shelves. He gave me the ticket, cost me $580.00 (red light violation).

Wow! I'd of gone to traffic court on this one. That's a lot of jack to give in on a traffic light that you entered the intersection when the light was yellow. That's the law here, anyway.

Wrong you have to be in the intersection when its green and clear it when it turns yellow(hopefully) If you see its yellow and enter the intersection and then it turns red before you turn your in the wrong
