DON"T ANSWER WHAT IS TEH RIGHT THING TO DO>> ANSWER WHAT YOU WILL REALLY DO

Answer 1

I would give it 3 minutes and if it was still red and it was quiet then I would assume that the lights had broken down and I would just go.

Answer 2

nope...u wait. no matter what

Answer 3

Sit and wait till it turned green is the correct answer no matter what the situation is........

Answer 4

I would go thru it.

Answer 5

Just because you said it was late at night, I'd say I'd wait it out because I might not see someone.

But if I was 100% sure that it was safe, then sure, I'd run it.

Answer 6

Guilty of running a red light that  didn't change fast enough for me, not a good thing to do though, didn't get caught, but sure wouldn't recommend doing it! There is my honest answer for you!

Answer 7

Are you talking about the intersection of HWY 50 and HWY 395 in Carson City, NV?  Ha ha!  If there are no cops, run the d**n thing!

Answer 8

I would never drive through a red light, HONEST

If I waited 10 or 15 minutes, I would maybe go back and try again to see if the light will change

Answer 9

Wait. You may not be able to see or hear everything that is approaching the crossing. If you should have an accident while you are crossing against the lights then you would be the cause of that accident wouldn't you?

Answer 10

Iwouldwait,i-would-wait,iknow-it-sounds-...

Answer 11

If the light is really looooong, I would make a right turn on red (legal in most places), make a left at the first opportunity for a U turn and go back to the traffic light, make another right turn.  This will put you past the light and on your way.

Answer 12

wait for a little bit, if it seems longer than normal maybe ill go ahead...

Answer 13

i stop and then if no traffic i back up a car length or two. This will usually turn the light green if a metal detector is used along with traffic signal. backing up will make the equipment think several cars are waiting at the light instead of only one.

Then I wait  

for

Green light

Answer 14

I may want to go but I would wait it out, you never know were that cop might be hidding and waiting for you.

Answer 15

I've done this b4, not that I wanted to.  It was early morn. (2-3am) and needed to get home.  I waited for what seemed like an eternity and it never turned green so I said F-it and went. I only did it b/c the car next to me already went first on the red light.
