Traffic Signal Cameras

I have ran a couple of red lights over the years , both times due to being distracted ( NO EXCUSE ) but luckily havent had a ticket for either .

But have known a couple of people who have had the fine and points . Not really sure where the camera is that reads your number plate , or if there are any or not , or if they are working .

Have to play the 2week waiting game and see what happens
 
Have ran one in my driving career so far. Really lucky too as its a fairly busy junction usually, was distracted by drunk mates in the car, no excuse really and just lucky theres no camera and it was 2:30am. I think i sobered them up with the amount of cursing and threatening to put them off at the bus stop if they continued :D

Also there was a car up her back side, so could we use this as an excuse for running the light due to it wasnt safe enough to stop?

No.

She has to use anticipation & think ahead.....

Its quite simple. If your approaching a traffic light, lift off the throttle & start to reduce speed assuming that the traffic light is going to do what is designed to do - change from Green to Red.

Many truckers will jump Red lights as they can't stop in time when the lights suddenly change. 100% the truckers fault for not thinking as he approached the lights. :)
