subject: What is a Red Light Camera Ticket by:Steve Miller [print this page] In California, drivers are currently faced with a traffic nightmare that can cost up to $391.00 in fines. This nightmare is called a red light camera ticket and the topic is stirring up quite the controversy in California. Here is the scenario. You are driving down a local street when a traffic light turns yellow. You decide to gas it in order to get into the intersection before the light turns red. Unfortunately, you are a split second off. The next moment you see a bright flash of light from a mechanism in the intersection. You see no police officers around and breath a sign of relief vowing to never 'push your luck' like that again. Here is another example. Its 4:30 a.m. and the streets are completely empty. You approach an intersection that you are very, very familiar with and you know that, even during the day, there is never any traffic. You see that the light is red but you have full visibility of the cross traffic and there are no cars coming. You decide that you do not need to stop and sit at the red
light and speed through the intersection. Again, you see that flash of light.
In each of these scenarios, your face has just been photographed, along with your license plate. A few weeks later, you receive a red light camera ticket in the mail. These tickets carry ridiculous fines in California.
So what can you do?

You can consult with resources on the internet or even purchase a book specifically written on the subject of how to beat a red light camera ticket.
You can pay the heavy fines, have your insurance increased and get a point on your driving record or you can fight the red light camera ticket on your own. Although a real pain, you can fight these tickets usually very successfully. There are a few tricks to use. The biggest one is to object and ask for an immediate dismissal because it is your right to face your accuser. Since the accuser is considered the camera (or the officer that reviews the photograph), there is no way to face your accuser. If, on the off chance, the reviewing officer shows up in court, object when the officer begins speaking and tell the judge that it is here-say. It's worth a shot.
Any of the options above are better than simply ignoring the ticket! However, the best way to guarantee that your red light camera tickets are dismissed or significantly reduced is to use 2FixYourRedLightCameraTicket.com. They even guarantee it!
