The Article linked below reminded me of my mother. When she was in her eighties she was driving and came to a red light. She did what I call a Bobby Orr stop. He'd call it a deke and a dive. She looked left, tapped the brake and without really stopping turned right on the red light.

A cop saw it and pulled her over. She was a babe and a half in her day and in her eighties had a functioning brain.

Mother: "Why did you stop me?"

5-O: "You went through that red light."

M: "Didn't I stop enough?"

5: "You didn't stop at all."

He let her off with a warning
