    Is it really illegal that I did this?

    So I got pulled over the other day and given a ticket for not yielding to those guys with the stop signs while turning left at an intersection with the lights. The thing though is that I crossed that line before it turned red and was mid turn when those guys walked up and put their stop signs up. If I'm at an intersection and they put up those signs, do I have to just stop right there in the middle like that? I thought I had to go if I crossed the line so I don't block traffic. I wasn't gunning it either (he told me I did), I literally couldn't as there were other cars right in front of me. Also another question but when a car just stops in the middle of the street am I allowed to go around them? I got pulled over after doing that but weirdly he didn't say anything to me about it.

    Go tell it to the judge. Without knowing gthe specifics of your case or is very difficxult to comment. With that said, in the end, the only opinion that matters would be the judge.
    Getting shot hurts! Don't under estimate the power of live ammo. A .22LR can kill you! I personally feel that it's best to avoid being shot by any caliber. Your vest may stop the bullet, but you'll still get a nice bruise or other injury to remember the experience.

        Legally you don't enter an intersection unless you can continue through it. Otherwise it's known as blocking an intersection.

              "Red means stop!"



              Even if the light would have been green, the guys wanted you to STOP!
