[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your rear tires need to enter the intersection before it turns red.

If I'm in DC or MD and there's a chance of a red light ticket, I brake hard and hope no one is behind me.[/quote]

Your rear tires need to LEAVE the intersection before it turns red. [/quote]

No, you are stopping too soon. If the light is yellow when you enter the intersection, that's fine. If you stop too sign, you run the risk of getting hit from behind by someone who is not expecting you to stop.[/quote]

Wrong. You need to have exited the intersection by the time the light turns red. If you are in the intersection and the light is red you have just run a red light.

Stop tailgating![/quote]

Varies by jurisdiction.  In VA, DC and MD, if you enter the intersection when the light is yellow, then you clear the intersection and it's fine. It's not running a red light.
