the Devo thread!!
What an idiot!!
hmmmm
Received a lovely $397 fine in the mail today (3 demerit points to go with it). Red light camera. I believe I went over the line while it was still amber, or it was so marginal that it can be conclusive. I have seen the photos and I am clearly over the line .6s after it turned red, but that’s not proof I was not over the stop line when it turned red. Going to appeal but I don’t like my chances. Pretty annoyed at myself and also the ridiculous amount of the fine. The photo below was taken .6 second after the light turned red (I was turning left). Should I even bother appealing?
* I know this was a poor decision and you’re probably right to say “just pay the fine.” Not looking for sympathy, just some appeal advice if you have any.
Guilty!!!!!
Suck it up Sweetie!!!!!

I hear you. But the stop line is the first white line. Is that photo conclusive proof my front wheels crossed the line after it turned red? (that’s how a red light infringement is measured from everything I have read this morning).
Do you like my licence plate? 
They must know the specific time measurements otherwise why take the photo if you could then use it to prove you were in the wrong?
It’s not exact from what I understand. I actually remember this incident and it was very marginal at best. It felt as though it was amber when I crossed the line. Anyway, I will go for the appeal process and ask for leniency based on how close it was and previous driving record. I don’t like my chances but $400 is a decent chunk of cash. I won’t bother taking it to court though. Will see what happens. I should have known better, especially at this intersection.
have you appealed/been caught before? i know down here in vic that if you write vicroads a sob story letter stating how sorry you are and it was a rare lapse in judgement they will 9/10 let you off. I got caught doing similar, wrote said letter, got off with a warning, it only works once though.
Mate u got no chance I tried appealing my fines that I got last year and no chance.
Lol didn’t we talk about it just the other day lol
Just to add what trend said if u haven’t been find before you might get away? In my case I lost license long time a go and even tho I didn’t have any fines for looooong time till last year they still denied my appeal.
I should have known better,
This!
The point is that you shouldn’t try to beat the red!
and it is clear in this photo that there was no one behind you so you can’t use the excuse of an accident potentially happening if you slammed on the breaks!

I thought of you as soon as I opened the letter.
I’m over it. Just needed a little vent. I will take the 10 minites to ask for leniency. Whatever happens, happens.
Mate you got nothing to loose by asking.
Shit feeling I tell you now imagine getting 3 in one month lol
Why did you run it anyway? You would have been slowing down for the corner anyway.
Love the numberplate, why wasn’t the fine sent to Mizu?
