Pulling off too fast from traffic light

Gladiator · Postby **Gladiator** » November 25th, 2020, 10:30 pm

So a friend of mine was stopped by the police this morning and told that she "pulled off too fast" from the traffic light. Is that a legitimate thing or are they just making up laws now???

I know some people anticipate the light change and may jump the light before it actually changed? Thaz the only scenario I can think about? Tuners more familiar with the law in that particular case might have to weigh in.

Depending on how fast and the manner she pull off, could be she was may be charged with reckless driving.
Or as Rovin mentioned, she maybe pull off before the light for her to go actually turn green

Thought was something about me and the evo.

Light turned red and a subaru and evo line up, it means clear the way when it turn green :mrgreen:

Just means the evo needed to cheat to win! :lol:

but in seriousness, in Trinidad i wait normally 3-6 seconds before pulling off from traffic lights because of how people break lights here, and if some a55hole behind me starts blowing their horn as the lights turn greem i make them wait even longer, IDGAF!!!!! if you dont like it pull out and fly and i hope you get hit...

i cant remember the exact wording, but there is sumting to the effect of 'sustained loss of traction' which i interpret to mean like peeling out.
but i really think the person either jump the lights or pull out too hard, so they get tag for reckless driving.

Pulling off same minute at a traffic light is asking to die most places because it always has the risk of someone breaking the light . Did she get charged for something or just cautioned . Recommend a good defensive driving course refresher for her though

Sounds similar to when I was driving in El Dorado sometime, and a guy decided to honk his horn and have a verbal argument because I stopped at every corner that had a stop sign (if you're aware, there's one on each block).

Apparently he was irritated that I had to come to a complete stop and look both left and right.

I told him to fly over me.

I guilty of doing a launch occasionally, depending on the familiarity of the location.
You have to be responsible and also know how to read the room. Don't do it if police jeep around you, ffs.

So what was OP's friend driving? She was laying 11's?
