The quick question thread

[punto_matt]

I went through a traffic light with a camera on it, changed to orange as my back wheels were crossing the line, then red and then flashed. If i get a nice letter off them reckon its worth contesting it?

 

[custard]

the camera activates on red
if you are in the zone to trigger the camera then im guessing you will be deemed ot have jumped the lights

 

[punto_matt]

There is meant to be a delay, why am i gonna stop when its on green as i go through it?

Contest it - but ASAP get back to the lights and check the timming (record it with camera phone etc)

 

[punto_matt]

I would Matt. As far as I'm concerned if your front wheels, or you as a driver possitioned in the car, were over the white line before it turned red then you haven't jumped it.

I'd take it all the way to court as your insurance will rape you with a 'jumped red light' offence code on your lisence.

Insist also on photographic evidence, as when I went through a red light cam (speeding on green :bang, it has a reference to how many seconds the lights have been red/green etc, so should help in your arguement if it was only been red for 0.4 of a sec etc.

 

[punto_matt]

Im gonna, i know 100% i didnt jump it. Oh well not much i can do now anyway apart from wait.

I always thought if you went though on amber and it changed when you where over the line, that was OK.

well that was my thinking,it activates on red so as long as you have passed the trigger point it doesnt flash
nodody going in the other direction?

 

[punto_matt]

I always thought that too, i suppose someone could of gone in the left filter lane that i didnt see.

What's your favourite movie? I'm looking for ideas on something to watch tonight/this weekend.

 

[bludvl_x19]

The original H.B Halacki version of Gone in 60 Seconds. Pretty much porno class acting, but it has a 45 minute car chase in it. Bloody well worth it to be sure

For a prank find the smallest teachers car, get a bunch of guys to move it between two trees or something it'll have to be lifted from in between
