And there have been incidents where signals have failed, drivers were
authorised to proceed through them, and accidents have occurred.

I do understand "some of the facts". The statement that I commented on was
far too simplistic to be taken seriously. It was so simplistic that it was
bordering on ludicrous. I was demonstrating how ludicrous it was by taking
that statement "When you see a red signal, stop" to its logical conclusion.
Do try to keep up.

I realise that, I was pointing out the silliness of Ron's statement about
"When you see a red signal, stop".

I have already done so, hence I was able to comment on the silliness of
Ron's statement.

If you wish to make a fool of yourself by not realising when people are
illustrating why someone elses thoughts are illogical, then please continue
to post in the manner you just have.
