Have you ever driven through a red light???

Im not talking about being halfway in the intersection while the light is yellow and then turns red, or even the light immediately turning red and then you blow through. Im talking about just flat out going through a red when it was red for at least 2 seconds before you went through. I just did for my first time, and i wasnt even messing with the phone or anything, just got focused on the green light right behind it...luckily no collisions, but could have been terrible because it happened during rush hour, just a couple of mildly violent braking moments.

When the light takes forever and there's noone on the road I do it all the time

I have done the same thing. Felt like an idiot.

IF I had done this, it would've been when I was really tired and (similarly to you) looking at the green light a block past the red.

Yeah, if it's 4 am and obviously no one is coming for miles in any direction, no camera and no cops, I'm going through.
On a side note, I once had to ride with a bimbo who stopped at a green light and blamed dyslexia. Made me remember, You have really no idea who you share the roads with.

Only in the hood at night.

Yes but it was on purpose
Posted on 6/15/15 at 5:48 pm to tiggerthetooth
Yep. Stopped for red light then proceeded to drive thru it, cop looking straight at me. I pulled over, sure I was going to get a ticket, cop just shook his head.

I was stopped for like a minute. Cross traffic from my right...after a group of cars I just blew through before the next wave got there. My mind shut off that it was red for a minute and thought only of beating the next group.

When they went to LED's they were so bright I almost did it a couple of times.
Blew through a stop sign trying to navigate this CF 1/2 Moon has got us driving though recently.

Not me, but the wife has.

I went through a red a few years ago. It was 3am and there was literally no one on the road. Got an effing camera ticket in the mail 2 weeks later. 
Posted on 6/15/15 at 6:17 pm to tiggerthetooth
Yep. I've realized that no one else gives a shite about traffic laws or other motorists on the road, so why should I? I drive through 3-4 red lights a day--just slow down long enough to make sure I'm not going to T-bone anyone

Did today in my work vehicle and there was a redlight camera, so I am waiting for the fine and arse chewing to follow.
