Set Off A Red Light Camera, Did I Do An Offence?

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.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
