Failing to Stop

Hey Gent's

Has been a long time, so this is regarding mrs.bobajob.

She got a ticket for "failing to stop at a stop sign" although we have a dashcam and she swore she stopped, she didn't TELL me about it for 2 days. So all dash footage was recorded over (DOH !)

Now I checked the ticket out no fatal errors in it.

BUT, on talking with my 7 year ...

Why would you want to add extra lights that only serve to draw attention to your car.? I like to be as inconspicuous as possible.

As far as green, I know that's the colour used by volunteer firefighters.

Amber should be allowed, yes, but not flashing ...

LED lighting

Pretty sure I know the answer, but gonna ask.

What color LED lights (as in low level highlight) behind the front grill (only coming on with fog lights)
If not obey the reg's is it a ticket and demerits or just a "fix it ticket/warning"

your subject is "flashing lights"

are you wanting to put on flashing lights on permanent lights

unless there is a reason for particular flashing lights as per statue I believe permanent amber is fine

Not to sound harsh, but driving oblivious is not a defense. Also, it's an absolute liability offense. That means you either did or didn't drive through the red light. There's no middle ground.

Re: Received red light camera ticket

just my IMHO
there's a saying "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime"

Jumping red lights are dangerous, I was in a tbone, because the other driver did just this, so my perspective is fairly harsh on this.

If your wife was pulled over roadside, she would have been charged with driving while suspended. If there's some sort of odd circumstance that shows she didn't simply ignore her conviction and was unaware of a suspension, they'd likely take that into consideration at your summons date and go from there.
