How do you deal with a red light camera ticket?

[Anonymous]

My daughter was driving on the day question, she didn't come to a "Full stop" when she turning right on red... The ticket is $50 and we making pay for it and told her to wait longer when making a right on red turn anything else?

It’s not that she needs to wait longer at the red, but actually needs to come to a complete stop. Red mean stop. No matter what.

Don't pay. Tell 'em to take the ticket and their equity and stick it uta.

Ive never heard of camera tickets for not coming to a complete stop, I’ve only seen them on red lights. Kind of subjective.

You have to come to a complete stop on red. You can still make a right turn, but you have to fully stop first. Same as a stop sign.

It sounds like she made a turn at a no turn on red light. Pay the ticket.

My kids lose their license for the number of days equal to the cost of the tickets. So here, she’d lose her license 50 days and pay the fine. So far each of my kids have gotten either 1 or no tickets. Seems to work.

This seems overly harsh. After I read your first sentence I was thinking a punishment of 5 days, which I felt was reasonable. 50 days seems over the top.

If you want to really enlighten her, have her demand a hearing and then go and see what a complete crock of nonsense the “process” really is, ostensibly justified by the relatively small amount involved in each machine-driven ticket while ignoring the truckloads of money collected for the camera company and .gov.

Tell her to come to a full stop.
Pay the ticket.

I could see where being harsh once puts an end to it all.

This. The wheels have to come to a complete stop before the white line.
I’d make her pay it OP but wouldn’t do anything else.

This seems a lot unless you’ve specifically told them aboif the complete stop before the line at red lights previously.

I hear you and get where you're coming from, though I consider driving to be an adult activity. If this was you or me, we would pay the ticket, be more attentive in the future, and move on. We wouldn't have our license suspended for 50 days. Why can't the same be true for this young driver? I think we need to allow mistakes to happen once and provide an opportunity to learn from the mistake. Repeated mistakes of the same nature is another story.

Everyone should have learned that you need to come to a full stop at a red light, and look for oncoming traffic and pedestrians, before turning right. Camera or no camera. This is a cheap lesson for her - make her pay the ticket and now she knows to make full stops in the future.
