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?

    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
    • My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more
    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
