It's the last light before entering onto Rt 1 for the beaches off of Dupont Hwy Rt 13S. She says the light was yellow very briefly and that she and another car both got their picture taken. How do you get the light timed and recorded for court purposes? And if one were to time it on their own how would you advise doing it for legal purposes?
