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

[S3RK]

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)

I see a picture of you driving through a red light?

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'm with Duncan. You'll get the points back mate. Just be careful.

Does suck to lose points though.

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

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?

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.

[darksky34]

just like he missed the green light eh

[S3RK]

... they captured me entering and leaving the intersection , I could not of "reversed" as you guys said.

[Duncan]

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 )

On a different note, that is one hi-res photo! Damn good quality for such low light.

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

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?
