I'm starting to lose confidence in my driving skills... I'm currently in the midst of awaiting trail for "Improper Passing of Streetcar" in Toronto, last year. And now this happens!! :x On my drive to work today, I entered an intersection after the light turned Amber. It then turned Red while I was in the intersection. A moment later I saw a flash of light behind me... and noticed the traffic camera posted at the intersection (the ONLY one on my route, and I ran it!!!). HOWEVER....in my side-mirror I noticed that there was another car approximately one car-length behind me, in the lane beside me. I checked their website and it says... "The cameras photograph vehicles that enter the intersection after the traffic signal turns red." USEFUL if you drive in Mississauga... MAP of ALL traffic cameras... http://www.peelregion.ca/pw/roads/red-l ... june09.pdf I'm quite sure the picture taken was for the driver behind me, but my car would have been captured in the picture, my question is..... Is a violation to be in the intersection when the light is Red? i.e. do you get charged a lesser fine/demerit points for entering an Amber? Also, I wonder how long it takes to receive a ticket from a Traffic Camera, if I did get one? With the long weekend here, I'll try to keep myself from thinking about this.... but can't help but wonder if I've been nailed... :( .

If more than one car end up in the picture, I'll bet neither will get a ticket. Just wait and see what comes in the mail. P.S. Don't start questioning your driving ability until you start having accidents. Tickets are just paper. Wrecks are the real problem.

If you get a ticket, take it to court, the fine will be reduced to $60 in toronto (maybe same for mississauga) and no insurance implication. So don't sweat it, enjoy your long weekend.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
