Kendall. I did get pulled over. I was 4 or 5 Am and I was on my way to pick up my uncle to go huntin. I don't blame the cop. He probably thought I must be drunk. But, I explained that I am a transportation engineer and in my expert opinion, traffic control devices are for controlling traffic. Therefore, when there is no other trraffic, as an expert in time management and fuel conservation, I made a carefully considered decision to ignore the red light after stopping to ensure it was safe to do so.

He looked at me kinda odd, told me not to do that again and walked back to his car.
