you did the right thing.

i gave a cop a real "gimme" the other day.

joined an on ramp that was controlled by a red light... the officer was right behind me.

i rolled up - stopped - and went on about joining the highway (it was early there was no traffic... and i had never even seen the light)

so basically i treated the light as a stop sign.

that was an easy one for him

obviously an honest mistake though - i mean who is going to intentionally blow a red light sitting right in front of an officer

GR, I've seen that many times. But my favorite one was this guy who had a few too many pops, sat at a stop sign for over a minute in front of me. I get out of the car, and after he figures out who I am, tells me "I was just waiting the light to turn green..."

wow now that's a good one.

we dont have a lot of on ramps here in Texas controlled by lights... in fact this is the second one i had seen, one in Arlington, Tx... the other there in College Station, Texas (where i was visiting briefly)

its pretty uncommon. just one of those things... you never see it so you basically train yourself not to look for it

Illinois we have the "stop & goes" on the merging ramps, but the law does not consider them enforceable.

Well done 1480. There's a special place in Heaven for those who are kind to dogs.

Thanks. For a sinner like me, just 29 less days in purgatory.

That's was big of you 1480. Just the kind of compassion and strength of character I would expect of a peace officer.
If I ever meet you and you're not pulling me over for failing to pay my vehicle taxes, I'll buy you a beer.
