this weekend...we were coming back into town and I was paying more attn to the stereo than road...so I sped through a intersection and the light just hit red as I went under it...and I just felt it...I was looking for johnny law in my mirror but alas he was nowhere to be seen...still I had this extreme feeling I'd been pinched...So I just went to the coppers webpage to see where the locations for their big brother camera’s are…and sure enough that nag came in…I think I may be pooched for 5 hundred bills if I get the light and the speeding...shiiiiiit…somebody wish me luck…I haven’t had a ticket for over 5 years…what’s the last ticket you got?

That sucks. Here's hoping they missed ya.


I've been pulled over twice in my lifetime but have yet to get a ticket.

we need those cameras around here

people are always horribly running red lights all the time, and not just barely catching them either. sometimes it just disgusts me how late they will casually roll through the light

yeah...I'm not generally opposed...other than the fact,the police miss so many other stops that may reveal drunks,dopers or restricted/ilegit operators...

this just reminded me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry is accused of being an ass man...and gets caught by the traffic light camera checking out his mother-in-law's ass.

OP, usually you see the flash of the cameras from every angle of the intersection. one gets your license plate up close and another gets a closeup of your face.

Last ticket/fine I got was driving through shitty London's congestion charge zone whilst driving a band to a gig.I was too lazy earlier in the day to get thing to pay for it so ended up with and £80 fine.That was in 2006.

Even in the day?...I saw no flash...please,baby,please...nor did I see any of the usual signs that warn of the camera before the intersection...Then again I wasn’t paying fuck all for attention,my bad...(n)

keep us posted.

I have two pending red-light camera tickets that I am just avoiding dealing with because they are so expensive. I don't even want to share how expensive. like over $380 a piece expensive.

See that's what I'm talkin bout...If I'm nailed it will have a tangible impact on my winter fun/x-mas budget...that's a cold fact...if it was an actual bull that pulled me over I could probably shake off one of the fines...but the camera knows no mercy...

225k in a 120k zone in Kuwait. I drove by that camera every day and knew exactly where it was but I was on my last week in country and was just zoning out.

It was a company car and they paid for it. It was about 120K.D. which is about $400.

Good luck with it moot, keep your fingers crossed and pay attention!
