R turn on red, when No Turn on Red sign present

[nkumar7]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I actually went ahead and paid the ticket, since my court date was actually yesterday (!!). I went to the court just to see what the environment was like and whether I'd be comfortable making my case by pleading not guilty, but I couldnt find a place to park! I got there 20 minutes before and there were many others in my situation, plus a long line of people waiting to get into the court.

Could I have made an argument? Possibly. I had the same thought as maestro- the cop probably wouldnt have known that the sign had been removed (no chance of it being knocked down by another car- it was up on the electric wires with the signal).

It just chafes that while what I did was illegal, it was in no way dangerous or stupid, and has since been deemed legal, presumably due to someone realizing how unnecessary the sign was (but I can't be certain of the reasoning behind this).

Finally, I just saw the hassle it was going to be to have to eventually return to the court for trial that I just didn't want to deal with it. I kinda wish I had though....the only other thing I didn't want to risk was having to pay more than the ticket, which I was told was a possibility by the court clerk I spoke to on the phone- depending on what the judge felt- if I had been proven guilty during a trial.

do you know what the word redundant means? because your first paragraph doesn't make sense.

Is that directed towards me? (What didn't make sense to you?)

If so, do people like you have nothing better to do? Do you know what the word 'useless' means? I hope the rest of your posts arent as worthless as this one.

**A: you're useless and a liar. The title of your post proves it.

The title of my post says: R turn on red, when No Turn on Red sign present

That means: I made a right turn on a red light, when there was a sign present that said: No Turn on Red

Maybe you're not competent enough to make that interpretation. Should I have said "NO TURN ON RED?" Maybe capitalizing the first letter wasn't clear enough.

When have I lied? And could you at least explain why you think I'm useless? I came here for some genuine advice from people who know more than I do, but there seem to be as many people willing to help as there are spouting off worthless drivel and surprisingly, the latter are mainly 'senior members'...

The way you wrote the title WAS confusing.
Personally, I would have written "Rt on Red with posted sign No Rt on Red"

Zigner, OK I accept that my title was not crystal clear, but so far no one misinterpreted it, or I'm assuming no one did. Furthermore, reading the first 2 sentences of my post would have made it very clear to anyone with half a brain exactly what I was saying.

I mean seriously...do people not know to keep their mouths shut if they have nothing of value to add? If you want to call me names, by all mean do so, but at least know what you're talking about before you make yourself look like an idiot (with thousands of posts).
