[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nanny did not stop at a red light before making a right turn and was caught by a red light camera.  She was driving our nanny car with our child as a passenger.  Thankfully, there was no accident but we expect to receive a citation in the mail soon.  She was very apologetic and said she will pay for the ticket and go to traffic school to remove the point. The ticket will be in the high $300s. They were on their way to grab lunch so there was no reason to rush. WWYD?  This is her second such ticket, the first being in her own car alone a few months ago. [/quote]
She pays and the car is revoked. What if they had been hit? There is no excuse for any lapse in driving judgement with kids in the car.[/quote]

She should follow the laws and not get tickets of course, but you are overreacting for sure. We all know most of the traffic laws are just money grabs for the police, you don't need to come to a complete stop to make a legal right on red much of the time, especially when there is no traffic. The nanny likely didn't put the child in ANY danger.[/quote]

If it's her second such ticket, I am with the first PP - she pays and the car is revoked.  The reason stopping at a red light before turning is the law is because the other traffic has the right of way and accidents can and do happen.  So it's disingenuous to say she didn't put your children in ANY danger and if it's her second such ticket, it's obviously a bad habit of hers (makes you wonder how many times she has done it without being caught ...).  She's free to drive however she wants to, but I don't know if I'd feel safe with her driving my kids around.  Nannies are replaceable.  Children are not.[/quote]
