I didn't have any ID, but willfully gave my full and complete information so that he could write the citation. My wife still complains about the unjustice of it all. I think that he had a choice whether to ticket. I respect that choice.
Trackstanding start, you can make it at least halfway through an intersection in 1.5 seconds. And if the light is still red that's going to look like a pretty blatant RLJ.

Dang, I see a number of cars pulled over in my area every single week.

How does one fight an obvious RLJ to which he has already admitted to committing here in this thread? What would be the point of trying? To insult the judge's intelligence?
