The same response to you as "Fish".
I feel I am not guilty and was caught at a yellow light.
I didn't try to beat the light, I never try to beat lights. I have a family
and a safe driving moral/record.
My mother was broadsided by a cop at an intersection last year on Jan 7th
(and killed) in Phoenix. Quite honestly... go suck an egg on this issue.
