Running a red light
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Hey there,
I'll get straight to the point—I was driving earlier, stopped at a red light, and my mind just drifted for a second. A green right-turn arrow popped up, and I reacted purely on instinct and pulled forward. Thank God it was late at night because there wasn't a single car or pedestrian in sight; I made a mistake that could have been absolutely devastating. No police were around, so I've been wondering: are there traffic cameras at the intersections in Seattle that might have caught me running the red? Honestly, paying the fine isn't my biggest worry, but I really rely on my car for everything, and I can't afford to be stuck without it for a few months.
Again, I know I messed up 🙂 but, hey, we're all safe and sound (which is the only thing I'm really clinging to right now).
