[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The red light cameras actually lead to an increase in rear-end accidents as drivers slam on their brakes to avoid citations. Speed cameras are inaccurate and regularly ticket drivers who were below the speed limit."[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The Virginia Department of Transportation conducted a study and increased the length of the yellow-light cycle by 1.5 seconds at an intersection with red light cameras. The increase in the yellow-light time resulted in a 94 percent drop in citations at the intersection. [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]"When the yellow-light cycle is too short it doesn't allow drivers enough time to clear the intersection. Those drivers are law-abiding citizens who are victims of a system designed to maximize revenue, not reduce accidents. They did nothing wrong. So now they are using PhotoBlocker spray to prevent unjust tickets," said Scott. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Red light cameras in the state of Virginia were turned off earlier this year because the legislature agreed that the cameras are ineffective, and imperfect. However, other states continue to use the cameras and are anxious to add more[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]One city was recently caught using a short yellow light to generate a high number of tickets. Union City, Calif. was forced to refund over $1 million in fines improperly collected from a red light camera at an intersection with a short yellow light. The short light was 1.3 seconds below the minimum time required by law, so it was trapping motorists who could not stop in time to avoid a ticket. [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Drivers cannot help but wonder how many other cities use short yellow light times to boost the number of tickets generated by red light cameras.[/FONT]

I've never had a traffic ticket. Not even a parking ticket.:innocent:

 

[southcitymom]

we have those too, but they are highly controversial.

We do too and they are controversial. I got tagged TWICE by the same one before rerouting myself. Those were the only tickets I've gotten in about ten years.

I got the ticket in the mail with my picture and everything..weirdest thing!

That's when you take a picture of money on a counter and send it to them as payment. :crazy:

My employer has a new device that they are installing in some of our company trucks. It is a video camera that records continuously and if the device detects a sudden stop or evasive maneuver, it rewinds for ten seconds and records the ten seconds before and after the evasive maneuver with a view at the road and the driver's face. This 20 second recording is then sent to a private webpage that is monitored by supervision and all of these camera activations are evaluated by safety management to determine if the driver was being reckless or careless or what. Talk about Big Brother!
