I got a ticket there for blowing through the red after coming up the hill on Righter and then going straight on Ridge. I admitted my guilt to the officer from the fightin' 5th, and fought it in court.

I wore a suit to court and was very articulate. I told hiz honor that the light was very short compared to the usual 25-second green lights in the area. He asked me if I had contacted Penndot concerning the problem. I told him not yet.

I was told to sit in the back row of the court room and would be given a "reduced sentence." Then they took a group of us back row people into a little room where they said the tickets were dropped and we were free to go.
