Here's the story.....

A car has been caught in a box junction by police and you need to contest that you couldn't have stopped before entering it. I have the following info:

Width of junction: 8m
Time orange light displayed: 3s
Speed Limit: 30mph
Car length: 2m

I'm taking for fact that the car has 120 horsepower=90 kW
and that the car weighs 1000kg

Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks, and please if you can't help, dont reply or mess up the thread. Cheers.

Erm what's the purpose of the orange light?
