Is there a clear cut law of when you actually run the red light? I just got a damn automated ticket in the mail. It was here in Dallas, TX. I thought if any part of the car is past the line(even a bumper or front tires) while the light is still yellow then it's not considered running a red. I checked the photo carefully and I ran it by 0.33 seconds. Half of my car was past the line in the photo. Here in TX it's just $75 for your first violation with no points. I heard in Cali it's about $350 lol. Talk about a cash revenue machine!

 

I think in my area it's $396 a ticket. Good thing I've never got one. When I went to traffic school a long while back, the guy up front asked who's here because of a red light camera. I'd say about 90% of the people there raised their hands.

 

Thank God we don't have these here where I live... yet .

 

oh man.. the cameras are all over nyc.. good thing i've adapted to them & learn to spot them & not run red lights.. many times i stop at yellow lights & people honk at me.. haha

 

I guess its time to turn the Boost Down... LOL

 

Now theres an idea . I got a ticket last year in NY just like that, it was a nice lil surprise that showed up in my mail a few days later.

 

They have these in downtown/midtown Houston. You can see the flash go crazy at night by the traffic light taking pictures.

 

The rule is, the moment the light turns red, your car should be entirely past the line.

There arent that many of those automated red lights here in socal, but my friend got one while visiting a friend in arizona.. they even got a clear pic of his face. lol.

 

We have those in Chicago. Only at problem intersections. I believe the 1st time is $120.00 here.

 

you mean turn the boost up

 

In some states, like GA, they can tell if your rate of speed is increasing from the point where the white lines start and the light changes yellow. If you speed up through the white lines, you get a ticket for running the red just the same as if you would have actually run it. My sister just got one of those...

 

I forgot to say you can buy a spray that will make a glare on your plate so the camera can not get the numbers. And it does work

You are exactly right and I know this because I received a 'Automatic Red Light' warning in the mail before. It was just a wanring, it took just one warning for me..

 

You mean turn the boost up so he'll beat the red light next time

 

Yeah, seriously it was only by .33 seconds. The line was right at my rear door panel area. Looks like the new GTE build will do me some good. Time to increase boost to 24psi
