I actually got a ticket for
"Not stopping on a YELLOW light"

The cop that booked me was basically being a pri_k.

I didn't pay the fine.

The case was heard at the Sutherland Local courts about 3 months later, and I won the case.

The fact that it was wet (a road weather alert had been issued) and I had a P-Plater tailgating my car helped as well.

That said, it was interesting to actually read the statues.

Yellow means "stop" unless the driver thinks it's unsafe to do so.

If I have been stationary, then took off through the yellow I would have lost the case.
