Speeding ticket *groan*

[Eville]

Where I live the whole city is a speed trap. We have red light cameras that record speeders and people that run the light. We also have a van that sits beside the road that photographs speeders. You get a $50 ticket in the mail.

I have a problem with that...IMHO you have the right to face your accuser in court.

I wish they would put in red light cameras here. People around here clearly do not understand the concept at all. Having a green light here no longer means it is your turn to go, it means wait for that last person to come screaming through the intersection, then it is your turn to go.

I'm not a huge fan of red light cameras, but I have definitely noticed quite an improvement in drivers paying attention to the subtle differences in the colors of the traffic lights. It was getting CRAZY around here. I surely don't see as many drivers confusing red for green as much as I used to, now that those camera trees have been sprouting all over the Chicago landscape...

Red light cams banned in NC. I got a red light ticket a few years ago and it had the speed posted. Im ashamed a tiny bit but it was in the middle of the night,hwy 74 was deserted and I could see for a long way...........117 mph.Yeah do the math ,I ran it bigtime

I chunked the ticket in the trash because it was from some company in TX,they sent another with the fine doubled. I mailed them 100$ in monoply money with a note to GFY. Never heard back and not soon afterwards they were ban from NC

I keep to the limit for the most part. At times I let a few runners go ahead of me on the highway and will keep them in site of I have a long drive to make some time.

Close by they changed a road from 45 the whole way to 35 then 45 then 35 then 45 then 35 then 45 and so on. It's very easy to drive 45 on this road. Just feels right. So it's a big money maker for the few towns it goes through. I always catching myself.
