Hi Guys,

I went out last night to see a play and we were running late so my mind was not fully in place. So i have a couple of incidents that im a little concerned about.

1. I was stopped at a red light - my sister said "you need to turn left here" so without thinking i did and i went to turn left through a red light quickly realising it was red and reversed back. Not knowing if there was a red light camera there...IF there was will i get booked even though they can see that i didnt end up going through?

2. This is going to sound silly but i have some phobia about red/speed cameras. I had a green light to turn right at this massive intersection in the city - but the opposite side of the road to the right has a speed/red light camera going spastic flashing everyone....im just paranoid [ even though i prob shouldnt be ] that on of those flashes were for me even though my car was on an angle - im guessing they only take pics of cars from the back view?

Sorry about the dumb questions but if someone could respond i would appreciate it.

Thanks guys.

What was the intersection where it happened?

1. The red light cameras take a succession of shots to prove that you indeed went into the intersection against the red. You still have a good chance of being booked though, depending how far over the line you went.

As for 2., I wouldn't trust any camera, even if obeying all rules and limits.
