Today, I was given a ticket for running a red light. The reason? I was moving out of the way of an ambulance. The police officer watched it go by. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. FML
Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML
Today, I got a red light camera ticket for $100 in the mail. After checking the date and time, I realized it was from when I was rear ended into the intersection while STOPPED at a red light. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I was at a stop light when I saw a cute police officer at the light across the intersection. Trying to be cute as I drove by, I turned and winked and waved. The car in front of me stopped, I rear-ended them, and then I got rear-ended. The cute cop winked back, then wrote me a ticket. FML

The law is the law, and there's NO excuse for violating the rules and regulations set by the authorities. /sarcasm Yes, what you did was illegal in most areas. I also think that the cop shouldn't have if there was no other way for the ambulance to get around and the crosswalk was clear.

didn't read all the comments so i don't know if this was asked or not...but are there not sensors or anything on the lights in england? here in the us when an ambulance is driving with its lights on the upcoming traffic lights turn green so that this problem can be avoided. and seriously nobody hit me with those "we're not all from the us" comments. i'm aware of that, I'M JUST ASKING.

Fight the ticket. Explain the situation in court and the judge should throw it out. I had a similar problem here in Florida 9 years ago. The video from the cop car showed the entire thing and it got dropped right away AND the cop got in trouble because apparently this isn't the first time he had done that. It may be the same situation you are in.

Thats messed up. Some cops are retarded. My brother is a truck driver. He was pulled over for doing 73 in a 65. Problem is, all of the trucks are governed at 65 for fuel conservation. He explained that to the cop, but he still got cited. He did fight it, and although he still had to pay a fine, his lawyer managed to get the charge dropped enough that he didn't get points on his license. Talk to a traffic court lawyer. See what he says, and if he thinks you can win, go for it!

that is bull! I would definately try taking that to court because you following one law caused you to break another. Definately a catch 22. Those cops need to find something better to do with their time!
