"Red light" Traffic Cameras
Got into a situation at a intersection the other day.
An 18 wheeler ahead of me had to slow down to make a turn and brought traffice to a stop. I was the third car behind the truck, and got caught right in the middle of a "red light camera" monitored intersection. Don't need to get into these situations, but sometimes they can not be avoided. Anyone know if the clear overspray paint work for red light camera's? I just see if this is legit.

IIRC Those clowns over on Top Gear proved that you could beat those red light cameras..............all you need to do is run the light going faster than 176MPH.
You better start building some more power into the GN.![]()

Did you get a ticket? I would think the interection camera would build in some type speed calc (perhaps a double picture) for unavoidable stopped or slow moving traffic where a car was stuck in the middle of an intersection.

You could always install a bikerack and have a bicycle hanging back there. That's not illegal is it? Especially if you have lots of reflectors in the spokes.

That spray on crap doesn't work - they tested it on mythbusters.
Don't run the light. And if you have an odd situation, the camera should capture the "situation" as well.

they're putting those stupid things up all over the place in toronto, and the most irritating part is how small the sign to warn you about them is.

red light cameras are just a bunch of crap. They are only there for revenue. Cobra has a radar detector or nav or something like that, that alerts a person to an intersection that has a red light cam. Of course the politicians were trying stop it and after a debate with Cobra finally agreed that stop light cams are only out there for plain old revenue.

MythBusters did indeed "bust" all these "traffic ticket products", none of them worked. Who knows... maybe it was set-up, I doubt law enforcement would want them on TV advertising that a certain product actually WOULD fool the camera.
Frankly I love the red light cameras, especially at night when you can see the flash go off and tell when someone gets busted. There's only one intersection with the camera on my way home from work but every night it brings a smile to my face to see idiots getting tickets. And like someone mentioned above, if you're in a "situation" like stuck behind a truck etc, that should all show up on the picture and you can fight the ticket and tell them to look at the picture and see how you got stuck in the intersection. Obviously they aren't a fool-proof system and unfortunately some people are going to get their picture taken when they didn't purposely run the red light, but there's just no way for actual police offers to keep up with all the idiot drivers on the road. Gotta keep people in line somehow.

While on one hand I am big "screw the MAN" its a money racket, on the other hand I think something needs to make a change. About one year ago a local intersection has more than tripled the amount of traffic coming through it. I see at least two cars per day run a red light, pisses me off. Something needs to happen, what I don't know. But if a red light camera is what it takes to stop some dumbass from running a light and hitting my wife and kids, then by all means put it up. I hate having to be "monitered" by big brother, but how do you control stupid people who can't follow the rules?

Sorry!
If they help cut down on intersection wrecks, I'm all for it. I cannot count how many times I've almost been T-boned by a$$holes running reds. Happens at least twice a month here and my town has a population less than 12k. Any time people are willfully stupid, big brother gets involved.

I'm mixed in my feelings, on one hand, there's 2 redlights within a few miles of my house that are absolutely RAMPANT with people running them, EVERY TIME THE LIGHT CHANGES to red you get at least 2 or 3 cars "pushing" through and they're extremely dangerous.
On the other hand I don't want no damned "robot" to give me a ticket. Put a real human there not a computer with no feelings and no sense of situations. The way people around here are, if we ever got one of those I bet it'd get shot up by a fellow redneck in short order ![]() |
