[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
Less than 2 months punishment for running a red light is too harsh to you? Driving is a privilege, not a right, and breaking the law and earning a ticket absolutely means losing that privilege. 5 days is nothing. Clearly pps kids actually learn from this, unlike the kids/teens that are continually getting tickets/accidents and risking other peoples lives on the road. [/quote]

Do you punish yourself or your spouse for this?  The adults in the family get more of these tickets than the teens.  It's one thing to blow through a red light at an intersection...it's another to come to a safe stop and turn right with no oncoming traffic and get nailed by these cameras.

You do know these cameras are just revenue generators for the city/county, right?  Speed cameras are placed at the bottom of hills to catch someone that momentarily is going 31 vs. 25 (there is usually a 5 mph grace limit), red light cameras are placed at high traffic areas where they will catch the most people not coming to an absolute dead stop ahead of the markings, and BTW even if you do that you will still get the ticket because no safe driver would just turn right at higher speed because you still want to crawl a bit and make sure no oncoming traffic is coming...few of them are placed where it is most dangerous or serve any public safety need.[/quote]
