    Decades ago in another state, I appeared in court for a speeding
citation 
and was given traffic school at my request. The class and the police
sergeant 
who taught it, all gave up a Saturday to all brush up on traffic laws. On
the 
specific subject of running red lights, I learned a rule of thumb from the 
sergeant: if a yellow light turns red before you reach the limit line at the
far 
side of the intersection, you have run the light. I put the rule into 
practice and have seldom run a red light since.     
It is a good rule, but after dutifully stopping at a big intersection as the
light was about to turn red, I found that few knew it.

Mark Anderson replies:
My understanding of the law is that as long as the car is in the
intersection when the light turns red, that you aren't breaking the law.  Am
I correct in this?  Is there a statute on the MN books that specifies what
constitutes running a red light?
