How do you define "beating the red light"?

[5000rpm]

it is a common issue for all philippine motorist. the traffic light is green, we can see that the traffic ahead is flowing but very congested yet we still move forward hoping for the best. sometimes like what you mentioned there flow suddenly slows down. light turns red, our pretty car is in the middle of the intersection. grid lock.

this is a traffic offense in some countries. but in philippines ang sagot lagi ng majority motorista, "green pa eh. malay ko ba magiging traffic. dont blame me.. blame the people ahead and ayusin nyo daan."

I agree with this.. which brings out yet another "problem" on the road.. if you happen to have someone at your back who does not understand this, or just pure "atat" will keep blowing their horns behind you...
