One time I ran a yellow light that turned red on me as I just stepped through. Unlucky for me there was a cop sitting at the light in the other direction. He turned on his lights but couldn't move because of the car in front of him. I knew I only had several seconds before the light changed again so I quickly made a right turn onto another street and pulled into a plaza and went into a nearby store. I was late for work but at least didn't get a ticket.
