[SORTIE]

received a notice in the mail with three pictures taken from a lightpole.

1st pic shows a very clear close-up picture of my license plate, taken at 17:12 PM
2nd pic shows my car at the stop line (with two other cars); light is red, taken at 17:12:21
3rd pic shows my car underneath the light (which is still red), taken at 17:12:22

BAGGED -- do not pass GO, pay $50!

if they're getting a picture of every driver who is running a red light in NYC, the city is making a FORTUNE

The only good thing about those pic tix is that you pay the fine and there is no points added to your license. So your insurance will not increase.

 

[SORTIE]

$50 down the shooter...WTF!

 

[Gaucho]

Which one did you get bagged at???
The big money maker is in the Bronx.

Even though I drive like an old lady, I "think" I was on Candid Camera about a week ago. Sortie, how long after you ran that light did you get the summons in the mail?

 

[CHEVY1]

Everywere

Carefull, they have them just north of the bridges on Cross Bay Blvd.

Skip -

Fair is fair: Write out a $50 check, but take a picture of it and mail THAT in. See how THEY like it!

[No message]

 

[Slick56]

Sorry Skipper, ya got bagged. The worst one is on the west side highway. They got me once

 

[jpd]

Bummer Skip.

I can't remember the last time I drove into NYC, just much easier to walk to the train station here and ride into GCT.

 

[crabman1130]

NYC got that from technology used in the guidance system of the A-10 Warthog.

 

[PURSUITWA]

I'm Curious. Why would you stop, then go while the light was still red??

 

[crabman1130]

If you stop twice at the next one does it cancel it out????

 

[psycopanhead]

ocean pkwy and church ave in brooklyn is a real money maker...eastern pkwy and utica ave is another,,,you could put cameras made of gold in these spots and they would still make a profit

You could do that, but they wouldn't be there long enough to make any money...lol.

I thought that most moving violations (including a red light) resulted in pts on your licence. Maybe I'm wrong.
AND...$50???? For a moving violation? **** parking tickets are approching $100 in NYC now. Consider yourself lucky, Skip.

Chevy....that camera on Crossbay Blvd (Howard Beach) was one of the first ones installed. What a biatch, too. You approach it from the South (Bridge side) and you can see the stale green light for about a quarter mile. It almost dares you..lol.

Scott...those Bkln cameras are definitely cash cows.

Are you sure you are not getting the location of the traffic cameras mixed up with the red light cameras????
