Blimey - another pedant!
You said "a motorist who comes across a set of lights that is red and
does not change, who waits a sufficient period of time, then proceeds
slowly carefully and cautiously past teh lights, would be guilty of an
offence."
I said "if a motorist came to a red light that wouldn't change, they
were supposed to turn around and find another route"
OK, I didn't spell it out in words of one syllable, but surely you can
see by impication that what /I/ said was you're not allowed to drive
through a light stuck on red. What /you/ said was that by driving
through a light stuck on red, you're committing an offence. Surely the
meaning is the same???
