If the yellow light is on before entering the intersection, use the
You should stop even if you expect the car to stop in the middle of the intersection
is a Supreme Court decision
came up.
A three-judge panel of the Supreme Court (Presiding Justice
Seokjun Oh
The Supreme Court overturned the trial court’s acquittal of A, who was charged with violating the Traffic Accident Handling Special Act, and remanded the case to the Incheon District Court for conviction.
A was sent to trial in July 2021 for allegedly driving a car in Bucheon and colliding with a motorcycle at an intersection, causing injuries.The
was driving 20 kilometers per hour over the speed limit and entered an intersection without stopping when the light turned yellow.
At trial, the issue was whether Mr. A’s behavior constituted a traffic violation.
The first court ruled that even if Mr. A braked his car sharply when he saw the yellow light, it was likely that he would have stopped beyond the intersection, so it could not be considered a traffic violation.
The distance between A’s vehicle and the stop line at the moment the yellow light turned on was about 8.3 meters, and the stopping distance was estimated to be 30.72 meters to 35.85 meters when A braked sharply.
Even if Mr. A had been driving the speed limit, the tribunal found that the collision would have been inevitable given the stopping distance.
The Second Circuit also pointed out that “if a driver is required to brake immediately when the light turns yellow in front of the stop line, even if the distance to the stop line is shorter than the stopping distance, there is inevitably a risk of stopping in the intersection and causing a traffic accident,” and that “a driver cannot be required to comply with the signal in this way at the risk of risking his life.”
However, the Supreme Court has held that “
If the light turns yellow before entering the intersection, it is reasonable to assume that the vehicle has not stopped immediately before the intersection, even if the vehicle’s stopping distance is expected to be longer than the distance to the stop line.
” the court said, reversing the lower court’s decision.
