Why don't you people think that jumping a red light is a crime!. It's careless driving at the least, if not reckless endangerment

Not when the camera vendors shorten the yellow phase.......fuchthem.

Many of the cameras were yanked because of illegal practices. Here's on instance in a city in TN:

I think every single recipient of a ticket needs to “rat out” the mayor of the city that issues them as the driver. How long do you think this will last when the mayor gets 5,000 court summons a day?

I think they are $250+ here. And if you think that's exorbitant, just think of the children you animal!

Ha ha - that's right, "The children"!
Funny thing about my red lighters is that I knew I was probably pushing it, but when I got the tickets, the pics always showed my vehicle entering the intersection after the light was already red, which I do not remember being the case. So maybe as was mentioned above, the yellow duration was being manipulated for maximum $$$. |
You are supposed to slow down approaching a light in case it changes. Every time I drive in the US I see most people drive at the posted limit or more near the light and then brake hard at the last possible moment.You are supposed to stop for red lights even if there is nothing coming the other way, end of: having a sense of over- entitlement is not an excuse

^^^^ No one is talking about blowing through red lights here, or other unsafe things. These "short duration" yellows were in fact causing skid marks to appear at many intersections. A real cop would NEVER write someone up for my violation ....but the camera "money grab" did...it was total B$ :(

Of course lights are MUCH more sophisticated than when we were kids. They now have sensors in the pavement and one direction going red does not make the other intersection get an immediate green. And yet, the rent-seeking camera trolls put in 100's of thousands in equipment to net millions in revenue. ....er, I mean enforce safety. :rolleyes: |
What we need is a green light camera system!
Change the red light cameras to focus on the first car after the light changes, especially the left turn lane. So often the first car is not paying any attention to the road, they are busy texting. Any driver that has their head down looking at the thier phone and not the traffic gets a ticket! No cheating the light is possible. And also watch for turn signals, no turn signals, get a ticket. Yea, that will happen! ;) |
