Today, I was first in line at a stoplight. After five minutes, with a line of cars behind me, the light was still red. People behind me started honking, so I decided to just go. Halfway across the way, I was greeted by a camera flash. Nobody else went. FML

You are dumb. You should have your license taken away. Its a red light you dont go on red.

I was in hospital for 3 months after a car crash where someone else ran the red light, assuming that no-one was coming the other way. Evidently these cars weren't honking at you to go. Next time use a bit of common sense. & the U-Turn idea is good, not exactly hard either ey?

Haha. You need to learn California roads, or so it seems....you need to stop right at the light, right before the cross walk, or the weight sensor won't know your there. Idiot drivers who don't know that are annoying

this is fake because the traffic cameras don't flash. I ******* hate posts like this where people complain about stuff that is their fault.

Maybe the ones in your town don't, but the ones where I live do. I've seen them flash. It wasn't me, and it was kind of a mistake anyways... the guy went straight with a green light from a lane that he didn't realize was a left turn lane when the left turn light was red.

The traffic cams in my city flash.

well obviously you give into "peer pressure" easily. you obviously start driving when the light is GREEN.

Maybe they were just honking at the situation, not at you? Idk, YDI because you went knowing it's against the law. But, it sucks because the light could've been broken (there ARE stoplights that take 5 mins to change, unfortunately) and you'd still probably be the one to go first. Sucks for you, don't do it next time. Wait for another impatient asshole to go first.

You don't handle peer-pressure too well, no?

Next time just flash your high beams, move forward or signal for them to go around you.
