Her last one was $50. In a car. Nearly $300 for a bike running a red is over the top.
Yeah.... the camera tickets are legally the equivalent of a parking ticket; they don't go against the driver, the go against the registered owner, plus no points on the license. You can say they are just for revenue, but around here they've made a bigger difference in terms of prevent red light running than any other method I've seen, since they are there all the time, 24/7. It's not a question of taking your chances, hoping a cop is't there; you KNOW you will be ticketed and you stop. Since red light runners really grind my gears, I like the cameras.
