At a flashing red light you make a proper full stop, then pull out in front of a vehicle that was already close. You did stop. Is there anything to charge you with?

Correct answer: A. Yes — failing to yield after stopping at a flashing red is a separate offence in its own right

Yes — a separate offence for the second half of the manoeuvre. Schedule 43 lists "Flashing red light — fail to yield" against Highway Traffic Act section 144(21), with a set fine of $85.00 outside a community safety zone, alongside the distinct offence of failing to stop at the flashing red in the first place. A flashing red imposes two duties in sequence, not one: stop completely, and then go only when it is safe. Treating the stop as the whole obligation — stopping dutifully and then pulling out into traffic that is nearly on top of you — satisfies the first and breaches the second, and it is the second that causes the collision.
