Red Light, Right Turn, Fender Bender!

You make a right turn on red and collide with an oncoming car—or someone in the crosswalk. What went wrong?

While turning right on red is often legal, it must be done only when it’s safe and clear. Failing to yield to oncoming traffic, pedestrians, or cyclists can lead to a citation and accident.

✔️ “Right on red” is a permission, not a guarantee
✔️ Check for cross-traffic and pedestrians
✔️ Drive responsibly to protect yourself and others

No time to read a long-winded BLOnG? Welcome to the Three-Second-Stop mini-Blog.

Today’s Three Seconds: Traffic Ticket Control

Speeding Ticket3 Second StopTraffic Tickets: You dread them. There’s the humiliation of being pulled over, the steep ticket fine, your tarnished driving record, and increased car insurance rates. Fortunately, most states will allow you to take a Defensive Driving or Traffic School class to ‘hide’ your citation from the public and your insurance company, saving your insurance rates from skyrocketing. Not necessarily a reason to celebrate, but fixing your ticket will no doubt alleviate some of the financial burden of getting pulled over.
