In either situation, you are without a vehicle. However, you might be entitled to a rental...

Traffic Lights: Not A Suggestion
Often times, many try to take the traffic laws into their own hands, this is especially true when it comes to traffic lights. Many try to gamble with speed and time and they try to hurry up to sneak through that yellow light at the last second. Others may even go through a red light causing the likelihood of an accident to go up substantially. This can be incredibly dangerous and the lack of care can result in a catastrophic accident that may include severe injuries. We have all seen it, especially during our morning and evening commutes.
