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

[RedS14T]

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?

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 it. Even if it got your no. plate I seriously doubt they would care that you crossed the line.

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

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..

No you wont get done, they need a photo of you running the red light and another of you continuing through the intersection.

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.
