Beating the yellow light

[godric21ph]

Hindi ako sure kung tama ako dito pero ingat po sa mga dadaan ng Ortigas Ave. sa may bandang greenhills. Nahuli ako jan noong friday for beating the yellow light. Sabi nung officer kahit na daw yellow bawal na kasi madalas ang aksidente doon. Pero inabot ako ng yellow light as I was crossing the intersection, hinde po ako naghabol. Hinde naman puede ako huminto na kasi haharang naman ako sa intersection. Nagpaticket na lang ako dahil ayaw ko ng maraming pang usap usap pa at baka manghihingi lang yun ng pangkain. At least hindi sa kanila mapupunta yung bayad. Tama po ba yung ginawa ko? Parang naisip ko kasi parang mas dapat ko pinaglaban dahil alam ko na wala naman ako traffic violation. Anyways, heads up na lang para hinde kayo maabala. thanks

ang pagkaalam ko, may violation na beating the red light. pero walang violation na beating the yellow light.

minsan kasi hindi maiwasan. minsan din kasi it is more dangerous to try and stop so as not to beat the light.

obsolete na kasi mga traffic lights natin dito. dapat man lang may sign na mag-yeyellow na yun traffic light or kagaya nung sa baywalk na may timer. hirap kasi minsan lalo na kung tuloy-tuloy yun kalye tapos mabilis takbo ng mga sasakyan then bigla magyeyellow! mapapapreno ka pa tuloy ng biglaan

from what i know.

if you passed the intersection line green, then midway the light turns yellow you're ok.

if you passed the intersection line yellow, you're still ok.

if you pass the intersection line red, you have a violation.

there's no such thing as beating the yellow light

even in the list of LTO violations, wala ka mababasa na "beating the yellow light". yun nga lang, hirap makapagtalo...

Tama bro there's no such thing as beating the yellow light.Mahirap naman bigla kang pepreno, which is dangerous kasi mas malamang yong nasa likod mo bubunggo sya sa likod mo..Dito nasa manual nila yon, once naka rekta ka at inabutan ka ng yellow light never step on the break for sudden stop.
