Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…

I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.

Is this true ?

I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…

Just wondering what this incident means...........

My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.

Surprise! rec'd red light ticket in Hamilton

Unread post by ConfusedinHamilton »

UPDATE: Has anyone gone and opted guilty with an explanation? Was your fine decreased? thanks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good evening,

I just received in the mail a red light camera ticket from City of Hamilton.

The ticket fine is $325. Honestly I did not know there were red light cameras in Hamilton. Is there a way to get the fine reduced? I am a small business owner who doesn't have a steady income, so $325 is quite steep for me. If I have to pay the whole amount, can I pay in installments?

Does it matter that the Date of Deemed Service on the ticket is November 16, 2010. I received it today, November 15.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

UPDATE: Surprise! rec'd red light ticket in Hamilton

Hi all,

Just an FYI...I went today to court, talked to the Justice of the Peace and got my fine reduced to $125! :D

An ironically, in today's Hamilton Spectator the front page article was in regards to Red Light Cameras.

I've learnt to be more cautious, so all the best to those that received one!
