The light was yellow, but turned red when i passed the line.If the flash at a traffic camera intersection flashes across from me during a left turn, can that be for me?
It all depends on exactly were your car was at the moment the light turned red....
If you were already past the line (usually the 2nd, or the outer-most crosswalk line), and you were sitting in the middle of the intersection, waiting to make a left turn when the light turned red, then you're fine...the flash was for someone else (not you).
However, if your car was BEFORE the crosswalk line, and had NOT yet gone into the intersection when the light turned red, then most likely, it was your car that triggered the flash for the picture...in which case you (or whoever the registered owner is) will receive a ticket in the mail within the next few weeks! (with the pictures included...of both the front and the back side of the car, %26amp; of course, a close-up of the driver, as well). - But hopefully, that's not the case!
You could also call the police department directly and give them the license plate number, to find out if you had gotten a ticket or not, if you want to know for sure.
A ticket for running a red light ain't too cheap...it's almost $400 where i'm from (CA)... I know, because i just got done paying for one! - (So now, if I'm driving %26amp; I see a yellow light, i'm stopping, period. So, you'd better have your seatbelt on, if your in the car with me! haha ...cuz, i won't be doing THAT again anytime soon! ;) Anyway, good luck! hope that helps.If the flash at a traffic camera intersection flashes across from me during a left turn, can that be for me?
there is a good shot that you PUSHED the red light so its your ticket, remember yellow means slow down ready to stop not gun it and GO.If the flash at a traffic camera intersection flashes across from me during a left turn, can that be for me?
It depends what the law is in your city. Where I live they have set the cameras very sensitive and if you are over the line, but still in the intersection when the light turns red you have a ticket. My husband got one a couple of weeks ago and the fine was $409!!!
