Red Light Camera Ticket patterjohn88

Hey folks. New forumer here.

Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.

As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.

Ticket for driving to closely but officer gave me his ticket

Unread post by vince2000 »

So I got a ticket for this. It doesn't say any demerit points on it does that mean anything? And the officer gave me his and my version of the ticket. Does that mean anything or give me the chance to get off my ticket.

There are a few different copies of these tickets, you have to be more clear as to which copy the officer gave you.

Re: Ticket for driving to closely but officer gave me his ti

Demerit points are never shown on the ticket. The offence of follow too closely carries 4 demerit points.

Your copy of the ticket should say "offence notice" near the top and explain your three options on the back whereas the officer's original copy will say "certificate of offence" near the top.

The officer must serve you with the offence notice and keep the certificate of offence for himself. If he gave you the offence notice along with another carbon copy by mistake, that won't likely help you.

Re: Ticket for driving to closely but officer gave me his ti

He gave me the ticket I am suppose to get and the ticket he is suppose to keep. So the one that you write on and the ticket the writing goes onto and he is suppose to keep. Will it be processed because I live quite far from where the ticket happened. Does this help me in any way?

So to clarify, do you have the "certificate of offence" and the "offence notice" or not? They are individually marked at the top of each ticket.
