CAUGHT OFFGUARD IN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT…

The Penniecode
By The Penniecode

I stopped my car way past (just a little) the road mark on a yellow signal… and the red signal turned on minutes after. I did not move any further, the camera lights did not turn on. Confident ive halted the car just right in time. I was about to reach for something and didn't notice the car moved very very slowly backwards and I stepped on the clutch immediately. But voila, I saw the camera lights struck behind me!!! Will I be accountable for the beating the red light traffic violation? I checked online and nothing was noted yet at the moment but I fear that it will after a couple of days. I wasn’t really beating the red light and I feel if there will be a speed monitor, it will show I wasn’t on the rush at all..
im so disappointed. need your inputs pls.

Dont worry buddy.. u are not suppose to be fined.. coz.. once i fell in the same situation.. and the camera went off.. but i was not fined. and i checked with one of the police officer, a friend of mine.. he said.. the camera flashes twice.. and at the second flash, when they find the car to be at the intersection.. u'll be caught breaking the law.. so in this this case.. u are still on the line when the second flash went off.. so.. not sure.. but you are not suppose to be fined for this.. inshallah..

I guess ur caught since ur not supposed to stop at the little XXXX yellow lines at the intersection at any given time.

Just be prepared for whatever will happen.

It is an offence to cross into the intersection after the light has gone red.

So you have committed an offence. You will be fined.
