Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

King T asked:

I want to get even with my boss. I am going to rent a car that is just like my boss’s and I am going to switch my boss’s license plates to the rental then I am going to drive through red light cameras all day so he will get a 70 dollar fine for every red light I run. I am going to try to run at least 100 red lights.

blackshellbowser asked:

When I am driving, I often noticed these little camera things on the horizontal poles that hold the traffic lights:

People tell me red light cameras are a lot bigger and they flash.

Thanks!

Can you receive a traffic ticket by the traffic light cameras?

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

pn1125 asked:

I accidently ran a red light. I think the traffic lights has those cameras things on it. I live in Florida and was wondering can they give you a ticket for it. I thought it is different for every state, but just wanted to make sure? Also, if they do give tickets, do you have to be a repeat offender or do they automatically give you one on the first offense?

How do red light cameras get you?

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Boris Von Snuggles asked:

Do you have to drive through it JUST as it turns red?

Last night I was sitting at the lights and I could see that the lights weren’t changing.

It was about 4am so I just went through the red light.

I think I saw a flash. Do red light cameras work that way?

How do the cameras mounted on traffic lights work?

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

amador asked:

Yesterday I was driving in Carlsbad, CA, at nighttime. When approaching a yellow light, I stopped, but the car in my right lane just passed the light in red.

One or two seconds later, I saw a blue flicker in the camera on top of the traffic light. I’m afraid that the sensor may have registered an infraction and then the camera took a picture… of my car instead of the car that crossed in red.

Or am I just being paranoid?

srfocn5 asked:

I live in San Diego and was driving down the I-15. We have new carpool lanes and i was getting onto the freeway not knowing that it was the carpool lanes. I drove down and saw the carpool lane sign and there was a cement wall next to me! I saw the cameras in front of me and i couldnt stop so i kept going and i drove under the cameras. Do they always work? How do they work? What do I do?
