Your question is very simple to answer but one need to answer it in style .THE DIFFERENCE IS LIKE BETWEEN A PERSON WHO HAS DONE HIS DINNER &NLEAVING THE RESTAURANT AND THE PERSON WHO IS ON THE WAY TO THE RESTAURANT TO HAVE ONE
How do you know if you are going to get a ticket for running a red light?
As people have pointed out, flashing red and blue lights in your rearview mirror are the most obvious clue.However, if you trip the sensors of a red light camera, you won’t know until you get the notice of infraction in the mail if you run a red light during the day. At night, you may see the flash from the camera. The red light cameras use a very powerful flash when they go off in the dark. It’s almost like a flash of lightning. It’s at an oblique angle, so it won’t blind you, but you’ll see it. If you are at an intersection that is equipped with red light cameras at night, watch for the flash being triggered as drivers run the light. It triggers when they enter the intersection and when they exit the intersection (I’ve seen it while stopped and been the idiot running the red light and you will see it). A week or so later they get the notice of infraction.(Note I said, “notice of infraction,” not “ticket.” Most places issue civil infractions rather than a statutory violations. For a violation to have occurred, it usually has to be witnessed by a police officer. You don’t see any cops running those cameras, do you?)
I got my first speeding ticket?
Yes your insurance will go up a great deal. My brother got a speeding ticket when he was a minor and they told him minor's are not allowed to do traffic shool, so it went on his record and he had to pay the fine.
I got a speeding ticket here in California. I was going 93 in a 65. I was just trying to get to work. It's my first speeding ticket. What do I do?
I got this advice from a traffic cop many years ago and its worked (for me and others I’ve shared it with) about 90% of the time:In California, you are entitled to a one-time extension on a court appearance for a traffic ticket. Wait until your original court date nears. Then, take advantage of your one-time extension and request a new date as far into the future as you are allowed. *Note: There is a deadline by which you have to request the extension (I believe it is 10 days before the original court date), so don’t try to do this on the day before you’re supposed to appear.When the new/extended date approaches, ask for a trial by written declaration. You’ll have to fill out paperwork and send in a check for the ticket amount, but the good news is that you don’t have to appear in court at all. There is a section on the Trial by Written Declaration form that asks you to explain your side of things. I advise you to simply write “Not Guilty” rather than try to explain why you were speeding or lie about not actually speeding.In a trial by written declaration, the officer must fill out his own statement about the incident. Your advantage is that a) traffic cops generally hate doing this; and b) by extending the original court date, you’ve put a lot of time between the incident and the officer’s statement to the court. Chances are high that, for both of the above-mentioned reasons, the officer will simply opt not to file a statement, in which case you win and the case is dismissed. You’ll receive a check from the court for the full amount that you paid and the ticket will be off your record without ever having to appear in court.If the officer does submit a written declaration and the judge sides with him/her, then you’ll still have the option to appear in court in person and request a reduction, traffic school, etc.I’ve done this twice and it worked both times. I’ve also given this advice to more than a handful of people in similar situations and it only failed once. There’s no guarantees, but, from my experience, it is the best option if you have the time and funds (since you do have to send in a check before actually being vindicated) to deal with it.
Red Light Camera Question: Am I going to get a ticket for this?
I live in Des Plaines, IL. Earlier today, I was driving down Golf Rd (heading in the direction of Oakton Community College). The speed limit on that part of the road was 35 mph, and that's about the speed I was going. When I came to the intersection at Golf and Rand, the traffic light changed to yellow but I was only about 5 feet from the white line at that point. Not wanting to risk running the red light, I slammed on my brakes and did everything in my power to stop before the white line and avoid blocking the intersection. But going 35 mph and trying to stop your car within 5 feet is completely and utterly impossible. I ended up blocking the intersection slightly by the time the light turned red, but luckily I had enough room behind me so that I could back up a little and not block the intersection (but still way over the white line). I then remained where I was until the light turned green again. (I didn't run the red light, but I got caught in the intersection when the light turned red). I didn't see a flash or anything from the camera, but I heard that some of them don't flash. I know a lot of people that have gotten tickets at this intersection. It's supposedly a very sensitive camera. So my question is: Am I going to get a ticket for this even though, technically speaking, I didn't run the red light?
I got a speeding ticket tonight. Am I going to get fired from my job?
If you are a driver, a ticket over a certain amount will impact what your employer pays to have you insured to drive their vehicles. One single ticket puts you in a higher risk category. The employers I have worked for made it sound very costly, but I can’t be sure because I never saw the numbers.If you are not a driver, no worries, as others have said.If you are a driver of a company vehicle, it depends on your employer and how much they are willing to put up with the extra cost.
Does your insurance go up if you get a speeding ticket?
I also have state farm insurance and the few times that I have gotten a ticket I just didn't tell them and they've never found out so my insurance has never been raised because of that lol, for my accidents though...yes.
