Running red lights: is the b/o supposed to slam on the brakes risking injury to passengers because a supervisor who has to write up somebody to justify his job could write him up if he judges the b/o should have stopped?If you are driving properly... no faster than the speed limit and anticipating light changes, there is no reason to run a red light. A yellow light is sufficient in length for any vehicle to come to a stop, as it is timed to the speed limit, unless you are the front vehicle entering the intersection at the time the light turns yellow. When I'm driving, I can anticipate many lights by the Walk/Don't Walk sequence. If the light ahead is green but the DW is flashing, I back off and expect a yellow very shortly. |
