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?

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
