Just to be technically accurate, the law says anyone with a CDL, not referring to the class. I dropped my CDL, but kept my class A, partly because of this law.

As a police officer, I can tell you that the law on when it is illegal to run a yellow light is very confusing. Our law is written to say that when a light is green, it means you have permission to enter the intersection when it is safe. If the light is yellow, the permission is removed. If the light is red, it is forbidden to enter the intersection.

What does not having permission to enter the intersection men?

Then of course, there is the question of what does entering the intersection mean?

I was always taught, and have always taught others, that the best rule to go by was if the driver was in the intersection when the light was yellow, he was good to go through it. And the driver was in the intersection if any part of his car was far enough forward to write a ticket for stopping at the wrong place. And the definition of intersection is the stop line if there is one and the line of the side of the street continued through on a straight line if there is no stop line.
