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.

Let's all assume any noise within our vicinity is directed at us. Who cares how angry people are? Keep yourself safe, twat. 45 and 51 got the right idea.

everyone who said YDI is a massive tool. 5 minutes means it is obviously broken, and you treat a broken light like a stop sign. he was right to go.

at least it weren't a woman driver. if it were, she'd have ran the light, AND caused and accident.

most busy intersections now adays have weights put in you probably were too far up, or too far behind my brother had to bitch out a lady for the same thing the light wont change until it senses the weight and knows that there is a car waiting

"Ladies, don't take offense at my irrational bias and let me run my mouth like a ********."

I think you all are focusing on the people honking part, when I think the focus of this FML was the fact that the light took forever, so he went, and got a ticket. Personally I do this all the time - if the light is taking way too long, I just go (provided it's clear - I'm not stupid). I think our traffic laws are too restrictive for people that are actually perceptive and drive well, so I will break them occasionally if I'm certain it's safe. This would be one of those instances. Also, I'm pretty sure you can beat this one - I had a friend who got a camera ticket at a light that wasn't changing, and he had it thrown out.

You're an idiot. First of all your first paragraph made no sense since the OP wasn't even in the situation you described. Also, are you saying it's illegal to go through an intersection when the light is GREEN? yeah...

YDI for being the dumb idiot for not thinking things through like they're getting annoyed at the lights not at you besides go at a pace that's right for you this applies to waiting for it to go red
