Re: Question regarding red light camera
Red light camera will go off when the light is red, your vehicle is behind the line, and then proceeds to pass the line. It will give you an amount of time on how long the light had already been red when your car passes the line (eg. 0.9 seconds)

Re: How do I make a plea-bargain?
If you already have a court date, you can just show up like you would have normally. If there is room on your charge to offer you a deal, they will do so before they start any trials. You'll have a room full of others with the same trial time as you and you'll all get in line. Offers will be made one after the other.

He charged me with 129 km/h but as he has written in his notes I was going 131 km/h.
He reduced it to 129 so the charge comes with 3 demerit points instead of 4. If you're a novice driver without a full G license, the difference would save you a suspension. If that's going to be an issue, it's something to highly consider. Should you go all the ...

I highly doubt they are going reduce your tickets to something like a parking ticket.
Seeing how it sounds like your wife received two tickets from the same maneuver, it would probably be more likely they'll drop one and ask her to plead guilty to the other.
