Red Light Camera Fine, Vehicle Was Entered The Intersection On Amber.


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I just need to clarify my knowledge. As far as I know, provided the lights have NOT turned red (Green or Amber), and your front tyres have passed the line already, you cannot be fined. Am I correct?

I was driving home and there was a security truck in front of me turning left (as was I). When he entered the intersection there was still a green arrow, I'm practically right up his ass waiting for him to turn, he is taking his sweet ass time to turn, I was already in the intersection and got flashed.

Image attached below.

What should I do? Where do I stand with the fine? ($400 + 3 demerits)

As above stated. The fact that there's no truck in frame either makes the argument a hard one to debate and chances of winning are extremely slim. Unfortunately just gota cop it on the chin

i believe all four wheels have to be across the line by the time the light goes red

I've been told all four have to be clear over the line, so yeah. I pretty much "ran" the red... Ohh well :(

No reversing, as above, I ran it.

Thanks for your help guys! Much appreciated.

dude .... take a hint

You mean that a truck was turning and by the time the road was clear the light was red si you where reversing back to be safe

That's what happened isn't it?

not to mention the thread on a public forum with all the details.

sometimes stuff happens, unlucky. on the bright side you still have 2 arms, 2 legs and a car (or if you don't....it wasn't this red light's fault :) )

I'm actually surprised at those cameras, I've got a really high res photo, this is downsized a fair bit. Sunset is amazing :P

That's one f**king expensive photo though xD

Edit: Photo added!

speaking of the photo....does it show a bus queueing right across the intersection, or did you go through after it had time to drive right across?

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
