Accident? You fell in?

Ok... obvious answer is... dont speed or run red lights. If the camera caught you, then you were doing something wrong. Fighting it is damn near impossible because they have photo evidence that you were breaking the law. Like you said.. you dont know if you were speeding or not- we all tend to drive faster than we should, and you were probably speeding. Those cameras dont randomly take pictures and try to bust you on something you didnt do... they actually have a rhyme and reason. Why should they have to post signs informing you that you are under survelliance? When you signed for your driver's license you agreed to follow all rules of the road. So therefore the police and the government have a right to make sure you are following through with your promise. There was most likely an article in the local paper when these cameras were incorporated into the system, and where they are located... that's about all the warning you are going to get. You should assume that at any point in time you are being watched... that makes me nervous but that is the way that it is. Every light you stop at has cameras, and most are recording license plate numbers. Even if they aren't equipped with the technology to send you a ticket for running a red light. Now that i have strayed from the question... you cant beat the photo radar unless you have solid proof of what you were doing or how fast you were going at that precise moment.. as that is impossible because you have no knowledge of when the camera is recording you, i would recommend being careful. Respect the laws in the area and you wont have the problem. As for malfunctions... machines aren't perfect and if they have recorded you at something you know is impossible (say you drive an old beater that couldn't go over 70 if your life depended on it and it records you going 90)then you are gonna have to prove how that is an impossiblitity. Other than that... good luck!!

Most recent was a ladder that fell off a guys truck. I was going 70, he was going about 85 or 90 and was carrying 5 ladders, it flew off, bounced off my cars hood, hit the windshield, and then i almost ran over it. I chased the guy 4 miles until he arrived at his place of employment. I called hubby (large, intimidating guy)and he came over and had a talk with the business owner, who agreed to pay for my cars damages. It was all cool. \nSo, long story to say, yeah, i was cursing that ladder somethin fierce Friday afternoon! I love your questions!

once, when i was into regression meditation. i was 'flashing' thru a tunnel @ a very high speed. i saw a light in front of me.\nhowever, i panicked & came out of the regression meditation. i think it's the speed that scares me badly. i can feel my 'mind' racing towards the tunnel.\ni tried to go into that state again, for several times, but i failed. i can't get that 'effect' ever since.

I was driving up to an intersection, about to take a left onto my street, as three tall skinny guys on inline skates came skating up the block... each similtaneously supporting and hanging on to one other for dear life. \n\nEach of them had black hair, and each wore a long black leather trenchcoat. And they might have looked a little dangerous if it wasn't for the fact that they were wobbling and weaving all over the place, looking every bit like an accident moments away from happening.\n\nMy son, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked up at me and said, "now there's something you don't see every day!" :)

i kind of did and still do.  I was in a bad accident  GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT but i am not bitter.  I was pulled out and sent to the hospital and had to go through rehab.  My car was totalled so i took the bus for awhile when it came time to drive again i felt sick and wanted to throw up.  I freeze now which is real bad when i think someone is going to hit me which could actually cause an accident. Also even though my accident happened in the city i avoid the highway like the a STD  it takes me forever to get across town because i am scared to get on and this happened almost 4yrs ago

Minneapolis to Albert Lea (90 miles) on the interstate, in about 45 minutes, in a DeLorean. \n\nNo impact other than the trip back (at about 60) felt like I could get out and walk faster! But can you imagine what the ticket would have cost had I got caught?!\n\nThat was one FAST car!

MY b/f dared me to get out of his car in just my patent leather high heel red shoes wiv no clothes on up a country lane.  I did and he drove off and left me.\n\nI was walking down the road covering my bits and saw a car coming towards me.  My b/f had drove off i the opposite direction. Feeling sure he would come back i hid behind a bush.  I stung my ass and crack on nettles.  He did come back and we did laugh but i never did it again. lol\n\nSharon (Wife of TULSI M)

I was once driving down the road, trying to tune my radio, when I heard someone scream my name from inside of my car.  I was alone in my car and looked up to just avoid what would have been a bad accident.  Is that what you are looking for?

i guess the thing that hacks me off the most is when people will break their neck running a stop sign or stop light to make sure they pull out in front of me.\n\nthen they drive 30 mph in a 55!\n\narrrrggghhhh

OMG!!! About 13 years ago, when I was 18, I was pulled over for going 87 in a 55 MPH zone! LOL! I had on a short dress and I must admit that I hiked it up a little more to show a little more leg.  To my surprise, it worked, I got out of the ticket...and a phone number! lol  No I did not call him!  And I did not tell my Momma either!  LOL\n\nFlashing no...flirtation...most definately...completely harmless!

How do you know you were doing 33 mph? The cameras have the buffer already set in them .. so if you were flashed, there is a high possibility that you were doing more than the buffer includes and therefore you may well get a ticket and subsequent points... sorry for the bad news.
