No, I'm 33. I did read about the under 21 clause though I couldn't find any information on citation amounts. I think it's also six points against the license as well. I'm trying to decide if I should just pay it (fine) or fight it.
To make the story short the bus was parked on the berm (of a two-lane street) early morning (@ 7 - 7:30) with it's yellows flashing for quite sometime (looked as though it was waiting for kids to show up from the attached subdivision -- on the side of the street where the bus is). The guy right in front of me must've thought the same thing and after slowing down a bit he accelerated through the lights... I followed. When I was going through the area where the bus was, the lights went to red.
I don't know if there is any gray area here, maybe I should just pay the fine and take the points (unfortunately). Yes, I should've waited regardless, work can wait a few extra minutes. I have a 'clean' record since a speeding ticket 5 years ago (54 in a 40). Thoughts on whether it would be worth it to fight it (and take the points), or just pay up and learn from the experience?
