So do stickers a better person make?
"A stressed out woman on a busy boulevard was tailgating a man. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said 'I'm very sorry for this mistake.' You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the person in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do?' bumper sticker, the Choose Life!' license plate holder, the'Follow Me to Sunday-School!' bumper stickers, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk; so naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car."

1. funny
but stopping when you can make it through a yellow is NOT the right thing to do.

2. Unless you're just trying to piss off the dink on the cell phone behind you....
But then, that's not really a good idea either.

3. According to the CA DMV handbook,
Solid Yellow- A yellow signal light means "CAUTION." The red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, stop if you can do so safely. If you can’t stop safely, enter the intersection cautiously.


Of course you can always say what my mom did when she got pulled over and the cop asked her if she knew what a yellow light meant. She said, "Sure I do, it means floor it and go like hell 'cause the lights gonna turn red".:rofl:

She was pretty fiesty that one.:)
