Tonight in my work vehicle i made a right turn on the green, but cut the corner a little bit and activated the red light camera in the other lane. As i was turning right, i was staring at the red light camera in front of me. Can the picture be evidence for an offence of crossing the lanes line? Or can red light cameras only enforce red light runners?

Sorry for the shrew pic

I am stressing about this because i have a clean licence, and my soon to be career requires me to have a good driving record.

On the other hand, i could just quit my shitty current job and let my asshole boss sort out the fine, right? :angry:

well the picture could show you ran the red light. but you would have to explain that you were on green but turning... wether they belive you... i dont know

Red light cameras only enforce a single direction, i am not worried about that. What i am curious about is if the person that sorts the picture tries to ticket me for cutting the lane.

i doubt you'll get anything.. since from that angle your plate wont be in the pic anyway.. and as long as your car isn't in the second picture they wont get you..

AFAIK if you cross the line and you do not pass through the intersection (hence the second photo) they wont book you.

Just for peoples information, i just spoke to the RTA who said the only function of a red light camera is to catch red light runners. Nothing more! I am happy :angry:

No tickets in 3.5 years, and i travel 1300km's per week in Sydney's CBD and surrounding areas.. It's not easy at 8pm - 530am remembering to slow down for speed cameras and the occasional cop with his Lidar. Last night i thought my 3.5yrs of luck came to an end..

If you are caught tell your boss to pay for the fine because you were on the job while it happened and you take the points.

I think that it is law that the company pay for the fine.You could find out anyway.

Where did you hear that! :lol:

You are responsible for your own driving and any fines that you incur.

The ppl that handle the camera fines will always issue a fine in hope that all ppl will pay with questioning it (revenue raising ;)). I know of ppl that have been fined for speeding or red light cameras while being professionally towed :) . If you do get something in the mail, don't panic, insist on the photo and sort it out then. From your explanation and diagram you should be fine.

    • Well, if it wasn't a GTR I'd say that killing an RB is a perfect opportunity to put in a proper engine. In your case, proximity to Brabus and AMG V12s would be a no brainer for any RWD Skyline engine death event. In my case, because my car is my daily, anything that I do wrong that means I have to do it again is both an absolute pain in the arse (simply having to do it again), and also a doubling of the pain associated with having the car off the road to work on it. I would class a botched head gasket install as not being "engine death causing". More a case of "f**k it's still leaking!"
    • Yeah, this is more stuff like transmission/clutch R&R. Intake manifold R&R. It's not super complicated, but each step matters and you need to be careful and patient. I have heard stories for example of people not figuring out the super coppermix twin plate orientation and getting it wrong on assembly. Removing a cylinder head and putting it back in once it's machined isn't that hard, following torque sequence to install some cams isn't that hard either, but somehow I've seen a lot go wrong between here and there. Scraping off all gasket material isn't that hard either, but I've seen shops ruin heads by using a roloc disk that was too aggressive.
    • There is some shops in Germany that have quite a bit of experience with JDM performance 4-wheelers. I think if it actually comes down to it I'd let one of them do the head gasket. Killing an RB26 is too expensive a risk just to save some money by doing it yourself.
    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
