When you come accross them and they're on red and nothing is coming the other way do you have the right to go through that red light

If not DO you go through it

I do

I'm sure I heard that if its an "Open" junction as in you can see clearly to the other end, You can still go on Red? Could be wrong, I sit at them unfortunatley :evil:

Hence me saying "I sit at them unfortunatley"

I'm assuming the highway code says this is wrong? No good saying "wrong" without backing it up :roll:

The reason you can't just drive thorough it is because sometimes they're a hidden 3 or 4 way junction and a vaehicle may pull out from a side road even though it isn't apparent.

A bit different but i think that we have the same rule that they have in yankland, over there if you are at a red traffic light you can turn right as long as it is safe to do so, obviously it would be turning left for us seeing as they drive on the wrong side of the road and have their steering wheels on the wrong side of the car :wink:

I like the comment on the top gear episode when the went to USA, "do you see that he is turning right on a red light, Americas only contribution to western civilisation"
