Hi, I stopped at the red light with no cars behind or in front of me and the red light camera flashed from behind.
I may have been late and stopped just beyond the stop line - never the less I did not cross the interested by any means. Since I am going through this for the first time, I am bit nervous. Does every camera flash get fined? Considering above - will I get fined?
Thanks,
Sean.
Edit: Not sure if it matters, I am in VIC
Thanks. Feeling a bit better now.
back the day when cameras had to be manually loaded with film, it was possible that a flash would go off when the camera ran out of film. I'd expect cameras to be digital in this day and age?
though I'm sure even if it did take a photo, it would probably show you just sitting there. I wouldn't be too worried about it at the moment, just wait it out, if you do get a letter in the mail, you can write in to appeal/explain your case.
Thanks for comforting comment
If you didn't cross the interested then you should be fine.
I've flashed a few cameras, no fines.
Thanks all
Yes if it worked correctly.
You will get a warning!
I think it's suppose to take 2 photos, to determine if you were moving… it you were stationary, most likely you'll be lucky. 🤞
Yes , I definitely was stationary
I had a camera flash me once when i was getting adjusted to pull away.
Driving a manual and did the old brake to balance on the clutch hillstart without using the handbrake, on the cross roads yellow, and just fractionally rocked forward. The red camer flashed twice but it would've shown I didn't move, I didn't even cross the line, and never got a fine.
No
Yes. You don't have to enter the intersection. You just need to drive over the solid white line.
you will be fine. It would take 2 photos to determine if you actually cross the intersection. If you didn't, just accidentally cross the line, you're good
Thank you all again…
No
You broke the law but in this case a red light camera fine won't be issued
