I got a ticket once. I ran an orange light. As in not quite red, not quite yellow.
It was really an accident. It was a street I didn't usually got through. I didn't know the light was there. By the time I noticed the yellow light, I was halfway across the street, hit the brakes, then realized I was already through, and hit the gas pedal again to get out of the way. If I hadn't hit the brakes I might have made it through before it turned red. Cop was right there in front of the light.
Oh, well.
