Re: Show this to the Mexican police
The alternative is to just obey the rulesBut the whole point is that the rules are broken.
Not really. How many people were getting caught out like the protagonist, vs how many were completing their turn within the allotted time?
In NZ you go through the amber only if you're to close to stop safely, at least legally. If you're doing a turn like the one described, chances are pretty good you were going slow and could see well enough (athough I don't know the intersection in question and do know a few where the lights aren't well-visible to someone who is looking in the correct places in the last moments before they enter the intersection).
Unless the timer is faulty and short-changes you (vs the normal timing), you shouldn't be in the intersection when the light is red at all. If you are, you screwed up.
