wanted to ask something, the other day me and my family were going on the road with me driving when we neared this intersection
coming from dha main boulevard going to street 36, theres a signal at this intersection, while travelling at 60km/h around few distance away i say that 7 seconds were remaining till signal goes red and i know that as its a steep right turn i normally have to take this turn at no more than 30km/h and the fact that just after joining street 36 theres a slip road thru which traffic and motorcycles merge while coming at high speed,
i seeing 7 seconds immediately began to break slowly while also seeing that there was no car behind me and managed to make a smooth stop just as signal went yellow, my father was very angry that i stopped and his view was if i make this a habit someday somebody will rear end me as he would think i would cross at yellow as most people do here, my view was its a steep right turn which i don't want to take at speed in order to pass at yellow and more often than not motorcycles on either side break the signal before their goes green seeing little traffic approaching from other side,
so is it right to avoid rear ending and cross signal at last moment or is it better to break in advance to warn the driver behind you and check mirrors and come to stop even though there is 1 sec remaining before it goes red,
my view is in worst case scenario its better to get read ended than to t bone a motorcyclist and go to jail as nobody would believe it was his fault.
