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.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      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.
