Got a ticket today because I was making a left turn on a Yellow light. I was driving about 35km/h and merge to a left turn lane and slowing down, while I was almost at the intersection, the light turned yellow and I decide to make a left turn. The undercover cop car was in the opposite direction. As soon as I make the left turn, he turn on his siren and pull me over. The Asian Cop said I have enough time to make a complete stop at the intersection and I shouldn't make that left turn. I told him I don't have enough space to stop my car in front of the white line and the road was clear, therefore I make that turn. He keep telling me I should have enough space and he said if he was driving a Police car, I would have stopped. I told him no matter what kind of police car he drive, I will still make that turn because I don't have enough space to stop and it was still a yellow light.

I was charged on Section 128(1)(a) Disobey Yellow light at intersection.

128 (1) When a yellow light alone is exhibited at an intersection by a traffic control signal, following the exhibition of a green light,

(a) the driver of a vehicle approaching the intersection and facing the yellow light must cause it to stop before entering the marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if there is no marked crosswalk, before entering the intersection, unless the stop cannot be made in safety.
