But I didn't even run the yellow. Yesterday I was driving the triaxle dump truck for my friends. As I was approaching a light it turned yellow and I rolled up, and was third in line. Now this is a very broad intersection with three lanes in each direction on both roads. The way I was going, there is a slight up grade. The truck has an 8LL transmission, and as anyone who has driven a heavy loaded truck knows, when starting from a dead stop, it takes a while to get it rolling. I made it easily past the stop line while the light was green, then the light turned yellow, and just as I got to the midpoint it turned red. The cop was on the other road waiting for the light, and when it turned he took off past me to pull over the guy that passed me in the intersection. As soon as that guy pulled over the cop jumped out and waved me over as well. As he approached I smiled and asked if I should put my reflective triangles out. As he was waiting for my license and reg he said something about trying to squeeze through the yellow. I replied that it takes a while to get it rolling. Then he told me that
the light turned green for him as I was passing in front of him, the yellow is plenty long, therefore I had to have run the red. Well, isn't this just grand? I have no doubt that what he said about the light is true, but what does this have to do with me trying to get the eleven year old 450 HP Mack carrying 23 tons rolling going up grade? I am pleading not guilty and going to court. I have been 46 years without a violation, so I will not take one that I am not guilty of without a fight.
