I refuse to stop at Orange lights. Hit from behind twice, and so many close calls that its not worth it. Back/neck still is really tight/sore from the last one over a year ago, just not worth the cost of paying for the pysio because some muppet would rather pay attention to their kids/mates/lipstick/phone/whats on the radio, rather than concentrate on I don't know, actually what they're doing driving. At $15-30 buck ACC surcharge on physio thats 5-10 sessions of pysio for every ticket you might get for running a red light.
Until they start policing the people who rear end you seriously, I'll keep on sailing thru oranges if there's anyone behind me. IMO should be a charge of careless driving if you hit someone from behind at traffic lights. Cause if that aint careless I don't know what is.
Buses & middleaged women were the worst in Dunedin, and in Tauranga/Rotovegas I find its trucks and middle aged women. Not sure why its hard to concentrate on driving for some people.
But about the ticket, I would write in, I mean technically they've creted a new person that doesn't exist, and can't be lodged by the courts for a person to pay, if that person doesn't exist. No differnt to you supplying false details, and cops don't like that, so why should they be allowed to get away with it. Might teach them to pay attention in their job too.
