Ah, yes. It is Friday. So, my question back to you is (when you were making those right turns on RED) did you come to a COMPLETE stop before turning right? I can't tell you how many times I've seen cars just plow right through in one of those right turn on red situations. The law(s) read you must come to a complete stop. Almost no one does. Except me. So I also make sure the folks behind me do too.
