Well, the worst part of it was that the cop was about 4 cars behind me. If I'd had seen him there, I would have sat there for 1/2 hour if that's what it would take to get him to realize that something was terribly wrong. Actually, I should have just turned right since that was legal. I contacted the officer the next day. He claimed that he had checked the light and that it had worked properly. I didn't feel like missing a day of work so I just waivered it. Tom Dave C. <spammersdie@slowlyandpainfully.com> wrote in message news:938525379.1288580909@news.kendra.com... Yeah, I did that once myself . . . sat for four minutes (timed it!), and then blew right through the intersection on red. But I didn't get caught. If I had been ticketed, I would have disputed it. I don't know what my chances would have been, but I'll be damned if I was going to sit all night at a broken light when I was the only car on any road at the time. -Dave
