How Can I Check If I Got Done By Red Light Camera?


Recommended Posts

Hey,

Today on Cnr Stud Road & Heatherton Road, there was a malfunction with the traffic lights. The traffic on Heatherton road was stuck on red light for about 20minutes, even when the lights turned red for Stud rd, they remained red on heatherton road.

Sometimes it glitched up and started flashing yellow (out of order) and then went back to staying constant red on heatherton road.

After being stuck at the front on the right turning lane for 20 minutes, i decided to turn left on the intersection to get onto stud road and then followed by a uturn.

After doing a search on the internet, it mentions that there is a red light camera on that intersection, is there any number i can contact to see if i have been booked? Would be unfair to be fined due to their screw-up. Worried that because i have no proof of the incident that they might think im lieing?

halp halp!

(i was on the turning right from heatherton onto stud rd, away from dandenong, but did a left turn instead onto stud road towards dandenong.)

Thanks

did you see a flash?? duno how u can check but if they send you out something write a letter saying the circumstances chances are they will let you off. I assume that the would somehow be able to tell if the light are stuch on red for extended perid of time

during the day it would be pretty hard to see it man....my guess is that just wait till the ticket comes (if it comes that is) - no use fretting about it now. If it does come - just complain that the traffic lights were going nuts...

I agree with emsta but I'm guessing that the people who process the fines will know the lights were faulty today and won't bother trying to book people but the way it is in Vic these days, I may have ignorant thinking

Call come the Civic Compliane office in your state, give your rego details and explain you want to check if you have been red-lighted - they will transfer your call to a traffic cameras officer and he/she can tell you right there and then.

Normally within 48 hours all fines are registered so you can check. I do it some times when I want to be sure... but note that if they say you're booked, you can't dispute the fine until it arrives.

yeah if theres faulty lights you may get the fine just explain what happened.. I once ran a red light to make way for an ambulance stuck behind me after receiving the ticket I wrote them a letter they checked the ambulance gps route and time of day and I got off my fine.. I guess you situation is kind of similar.

If there was a single false photograph on the redlight camera the entire film is destroyed (or at least that's what Tenix claim). So if the lights were failing when you went through they should not take it any further.

But, red light camera's are a little hard to miss, if they are doing a right turning lane then they are usually mounted just before the turning lanes.

from what ive read, red light cameras take 2 photos, one when you cross the white line and the other as you are in the middle of the intersection. As the camera may have been behind me to take picture of rear number plate, i instead did a left turn on a right lane, so the 2nd flash would have been my car 90degrees to the camera. If that makes sense haha

Ill call the camera place on monday and see whats happened.

Thanks

did you have your brakes on when going through? if you have your brake lights on in the photo you can say that there was a car that was slow infront of you and you couldnt get through the intersection... worked for a guy i knew anyway. got away with it

lol at this dribble.

the wont even have prcessed it yet.

Disbute it if it comes, say the lights were faulty and they will go suss it out if they havnt already voided that camera for that peroid.

This happened to me, except I was *in* the intersection stuck in traffic when the light went red, problem was my rear wheels were touching the end of the pedestrian crossing :(. I got the fine after challenging them.

you rarely get done for turning right, because the camera takes a picture when you're already in the process of turning, then once you're almost perpendicular. If it's day time it can be a bitch to make out the plate on an angle, and with reflections it's even harder.

Plus, if it was going for so long, then there's probably a horde of people in the same boat.

They might try it on and send you a fine if they can read your plate, but I think you have very little to worry about.

Red light camera only take photos in the direction they are facing on one leg of an intersection.

So as long as the red light camera wasn't on the same leg of the intersection you were on then there is nothing to worry about.

You were on Heatherton Road and was meant to turn onto Stud Road?

I don't think there is a camera there if I am right..

Left is Mobil, across the road from there is Red Rooster?

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
