[isa2o3]

[coolcat]

Bump for the best thread ever!

don't drive like a dumbass and then you won't have to worry anymore

[isa2o3]

lol dont try to, but u cant tell me that there have been time where the light was yellow and u thought u will make it, but when u get 1/4 in on the intersection, it all of sudden turns red. If so it will earn u a ticket sir.

learn to use the ****ing brakes and not drive like an idiot. Red means stop.

i think the problem is the yellows..... its rare that someone blatantly runs and already red light but people jumping the yellows is more of a problem..... do the cameras work instantly after the lights turn red or is there some lag time????

no lag time at all. I've actually watched, at night, the cameras flash as the picture is taken. It happens maybe 1 second after the light changes.

[Nittanys1]

ur just getting tired of them?

[isa2o3]

ur just getting tired of them?

no i have been tired of them. But i kept it to myself till today.

[Leekor12]

-How about you go stealth mode and when you know your're about to go thru a red hit a button and hide your plates?

-Get that spray can that makes your plates invisible to the camera.

-Take your plates off.

-Or, the smartest idea ever, don't run them if you can't beat them.

The spray stuff doesn't work, has been proven time and time again, including by mythbusters. The other three ideas are golden, including the flipping liscense plate trick. Just watch out, it'll land you in a steaming heaping pile of crap if you DO get caught with it. Just taking your tag off when you decide to drive like a moron is the best idea. Most cops won't stop you just for having your tag off.

lol, good tips

[fucksohc]

ummm... maybe if you dont run red lights you wont have to worry about it?

[Kyle]

Yeah its a shame they decided to enforce the law.

Seriously what do you expect? Worry about cops? You should have nothing to worry about if you aren't breaking the law.

now thats the truth

and he is in georgia tech... hes a smart man

fuk UGA!!!

[Vayda]

Enforcing the law is one thing, but i still hate those cameras. I mean, there are times when you need to run a red light - when it sticks, when it's an emergency, when it's 2am and you're driving to the hospital? But there's no way to fight a ticket with the things. If the cops want to enforce the law and stop people running red lights, then their butts need to be out there actually doing their job, not hiding in neighborhood entrances giving people speeding tickets for 10 over.

There are cases that the lights can't account for because they aren't subjective. But I think the benefits outweigh the costs. Think about it.

[Vayda]

I'm not sure that i agree with you that the benefits really outweigh anything. The cameras don't stop people from running a redlight nearly as effectively as seeing a cop parked ahead of you would.

In october, i had a firsthand experience with this, as my boyfriend and I were t-boned by a drunk driver. We had a protected left turn arrow and he blew a redlight and slammed us (minor injuries only, thank god, but the poor car was very, very dead.) Anyway, having a redlight camera there wouldn't have stopped him. Not only was that driver unaware he was about to plow into someone, he didn't even see the light was red. Cameras wouldn't have stopped him. But had there been a cop car sitting at that intersection, lights on, the sight of blueberries up ahead might have.

[Stormhammer]

Yeah yellow means stop unless at the intersection dude.... and if you're a 1/4 mile away, you should be able to stop even doing 80mph... in other words you're the kind of ******* that I will one day spin out, drag their ass out of the car, and ****ing beat them to a goddamn pulp so badly that I will have broken a damn baseball bat.

i have no idea what ur talking about. if i was 1/4 miles away and it was yellow i would stop to. it is when i am really close and i think i can make it and it turns red.

[Kevykev]

I can relate to this topic


What if it's yellow when you go under?

mail worthy?

[Nemesis]

You actually can fight, and beat those tickets. Trust me, I know

damn.... is this what IA WL come to? Useless vent threads about? CHeese and RicE!

[Jaimecbr900]

Is it me or is there a lot of misinformation on IA lately?


Red light cameras do indeed keep people from running red lights. I see it every single day of my life. Why? Because I drive by several intersections, one which used to be one of the worst ever for people running red lights, and people do indeed have their guard up and tend NOT to run the light since they know it's there. Matter of fact, often times people slam on their brakes at the mere sight of yellow now when they used to just plow right thru before. This is my only complaint about them. They cause accidents from people that freak out about them.

My wife got one, in the exact same intersection mentioned above, and she totally deserved it. It was not even close. The ticket came in the mail and had a pic of her car, tag, the amt of time the light was red BEFORE she entered the intersection, her speed, etc. There was no debating it, and since I was literally right behind her and STOPPED....I knew she blew the light. Called her on the cell and told her so.

My point for that little story is that to my knowledge the cameras don't give every single person that comes close a ticket. I think it has to be pretty obvious and blatant. If you've already entered the intersection, it will not give you one. It's happened to me at that same intersection, like I said I drive thru it everyday, several times before where I went thru the intersection just as it turned yellow or was flaming yellow and have so far never gotten a ticket.

Bottomline? Don't run red lights and you won't have anything to worry about.

Is your intelligence meter set to stupid? What in the **** would make you tired of that? Why do they bother you unless you like running through red lights? And who says you have to watch for cops when you're speeding? Don't worry about them. The ignorance and asshattedry of the people here gain higher levels as each day passes. Later, QD.
