:angry: Stop driving like a moron and you won't get speeding and red light fines etc. It's your own damn fault and I hope you lose your licence. The road will be a safer place by the looks of it. Making excuses for each one and trying to justify it...give me a break. You break the law you pay the price.

I await the bitchy reply. dry.gif

I agree.

You shouldn't have crossed the line at all. By the sound of your pass offences, hopefully losing your license will teach you a lesson.

I've lost mine before, I copped it on the chin and dealt with it... I think I am a more sensible driver because of it.

Saying this in the nicest way I can but I think you're screwed.

Personally, don't fret about it until you actually get a notice in the mail, otherwise you could be just working yourself up over nothing.

+1.

I once drove an intersection and wasn't paying an attention until a flash went off. I looked around and there was only my car, looked at my mirror and saw the traffic light still on red on the opposite direction and thought 'Im screwed'.

Frustrated for weeks, waiting for the fines, and it was only 3 days after new year.

Up till now I check my mailbox and online, no fines. Come to think about it, I couldn't possibly not notice 2 lights, on top and on my right hand side went red.

Either suck it up if you got fine (Hopefully not), or take this as a lesson to pay more attention when we drive.

photos arrived, After reading this, there is no way to argue, http://www.police.qld.gov.au/Resources/Internet/programs/roadSafety/documents/redLightCamOffences.pdf

as others said, learn the lesson the hard way, so even though half of the car has passed..

Also, in traffic jam, if you stop over the line, you have to pay the fine according to the article above, be careful

First photo, even though half of my car has crossed the line (my car is on the left lane)

Second photo, from the distance between the first photo, the speed is 20km/h

even with the following, he has to pay the fine when the trailer has not passed the light, WTF (this is not my car)

and please read this article

Red Light Camera Fine $324: Welcome to the Police State

I have been driving with extra cautious, on one occassion, I stop the car in short distance, and the rear almost crash on it... every time I cross the traffic lights, a load of mathematics formula and fear just come out, which can easily cause traffic accident, hmm, I don't care, i have paid for insurance, and my rear bumber can be replaced all the time... I rather stop the car than getting a fine..

I am now turning my GPS on to warn me for safety camera

Uhhh... That last pic. Look how far he is into the intersection. Trailer crossing or not.

So are we going to start calling your Lance Armstrong (or Cadel Evans) or did you get lucky and still have some points left?

So you are still going to go through ones without cameras?

try to stop at all times even the car behind crash on me, sick of counting number of seconds with the traffic light

he can still charge you for not stopping at yellow light and 2 demerit points for the trailer

no points left. have to get GOOD PERIOD for 3 months, doing research about GOOD PERIOD, it is something like 2 points are allocated to you, if you keep breaching, your suspension period will double up

Yeah.. we got that in VIC, its called a mercy point and im on it.. (speeding)

but only 1 point and you have that for a year, you loose that point and suspension will be doubled :X (woo 6 monts till i get my points back :P)

I'm pretty sure you'll find the Good Driving Behaviour period is 12 months... not 2.

If people crash into the back of you, THEY are at fault.

I rather they crash on me than have my demerit points deducted.. and I have rental car from my insurance

I have racing brake pad on my car anyway.. the law forces me to do so, but do not stop over the line, otherwise 3 points again..again, WTF is this.. In raining, this really sucks

This is a good practise for me, with fear and full of formulas in calculating the yellow light length, and traffic condition, one single mistake can put me in trouble.. especially when you are tired

I remember when I drove yesterday, the bus was blocking the traffic light for at least 3 seconds due to its height.. I have to look spend time to look for another traffic light at somewhere else, this is risky

I just want you guys be careful, and not attempt to cross yellow light, the risk is quite high.. I have learned the lesson already

Instead of doing maths, why don't you just drive?

Stop thinking of it like formulas. Just stop the **** car if its going red. Not hard. Especially if you have 'racing brakes'

You really do not understand the logic of driving do you ben yip...Green, Yellow/Orange/Amber and RED. Pretty simple I think. Have you thought about more driving lessons?

Moderators, I think it is time to close this thread. I'm sure Ben Yip has got the point (hope so) from the various comments posted.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
