I heard that on Sundays between 12 and 4pm you can run 1 red light, run 2 and you get ticketed.

And how exactly are the cops supposed to keep track of the ONE red light we run?

That law (If it's not BS) was probably put in when there was only one traffic light and ten cars in the whole area.

Most cops think that if any part of your vehicle is between the solid whites in the intersection when the light turns red, you will get a ticket. Think that was in the VA Driver's manual and a question on the exam. Not 100% sure though since I only answer 20 questions at a time.

Dont cops have more important things to do than pull over people who didnt make it through an intersection in time?
