Well, got a ******** ticket today.
Scratch my ambitions for law school; I'm going on the lamb.
A ticket? Why?
Running a blinking red light.
At a brand new, incomplete intersection.
Where there was no traffic. AT ALL.
I slowed. But there was nothing. So I continued. Didn't come to a full stop.
The police cruiser must've been behind me the entire time.
No excuses, I admit that I didn't stop. But I honestly felt the mitigating circumstances didn't warrent getting ticketed for it. What was I supposed to do, wait at the empty intersection and blinking red light for all eternity? (Blinking light; it won't change. The regular lighting system is being activated on Monday.)
