Got Pulled Over, Cops Accused Me Something Stupid

[KamikazeR33]

Yep illegal to run an orange if cop believes you had time to stop. Hes well within his rights to book you.

EDIT (aka translation): Illegal run orange cos cop see you stop. Always book you for that. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

but in court u can always argue that "u didnt feel u had enough time to stop safely before the line"

[Frink]

i find it funny that you got pulled over by cops on a bicycle! HAHA

[merlin6014]

how the feck did you pass your driving test if you don't know what an ornage light means is what i want to know!

[dezz]

fromt RTA website

"A red traffic light means stop, green means go and yellow means you must stop if you can safely do so."

hehe, my bad, i was wrong,

but maybe i can argue that i wont be able to stop completely intime.

Hi,

Just thought i would shared my expericenced,

Today, just driving around a busy shopping center. 2 cops on bicycle, I saw, so i drive as normal as i could.

At traffic light, where Right Turn arrow light just turn yellow, I turn anywai, as it is allowed.

Then the cops on the bicyle pulled me over

cop: do u know y i pulled u over?

me: No, I duno, why?

Cop: U duno?

me: I didnt do anything wrong

Cop: U turn right when the light goes red,

Me: I did not, I turn when the light was still amber,

Cop: when the light goes amber, u still have to chance to stop but u didnt, and u turn, then its GREEN on the pedestrian crossing,

Me: as far as i know, as long as u passed the line when the light still yellow, its legally fine.

cop: NOPE, when light goes yelow, if u can stop u have to stop.

argue on and on, then he ask for license and took him 15 mins later to let me go.

i scared he asked me to pop the bonnet as i got POD, and my 3" exahust,

wats the deal with the light?

i mean, is he used that excuse to pull me over? cops are weird,

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well if he stepped in front of you and you hit him you could have said 'See? I wouldn't have stopped in time for that yellow light?'

NB: Don't run down cops mmkay?

[Beer Baron]

man i can't believe you got pulled over by a cop on a bicycle. did he have like a portable siren? lol. or does he just make the noise like eddie murphy in raw? haha, he must have been puffed after catching up to you to pull you over.

[fresh]

i've been done, 3 points and $300 f**kin ridiculous, light didn't turn orange till i was 3/4 way thru the intersection but the local bitch cop still found it neccesary, me and my mates have racked up so many trivial ridiculous fines from her its not funny. but yeah tried everything to get out of it and nothing....

[32 4whore]

FUnkey Monkey thats the funniest thing in the thread LOL .

In adelaide there are tonnes of cops on bicycles around glenleg and hindley, rundle street. LOL They are cops you can just run away from them now can u. Ya heard of a radio and more cops will be chasing u down ready to ram ur ass with pain.

[morgsj50]

how embarrasing lol

[lordsnipe]

you see it depends.

if you have already crossed the white line and it turns amber whilst going straight, by the time you stop, you'd be in the middle of the intersection. In this case, I reckon u could keep going and should not get pinned for anything.

but since you were doing a U turn, your speed should of been slow enough to stop relatively quickly. This is iffy and would prolly be up to police discretion.

[dezz]

i think that even if you stop rather than going through it, and you cross the solid white line, you've technically run the red...and if they want to be tight, they'll get you for it.

dont quote me on this, but someone once told me that the dotted lines that divide the lanes, they become solid a certain distance away from the solid line at the intersection...if the light turns amber and you are at the solid lines dividing the lanes, you're allowed to go through and dont have to stop as its probably not safe.. seems logical to me
