Surviving the Mayans and enjoying it.

I saw that on "Inventors" a couple of weeks ago. Mary and I were watching the show and when I heard that they were working to a price point of 1K, I said I wanted one. Sure, there is a car lift in the barn, but it can only lift an half a GMC and that is very limited by the ceiling height.

The only problem I saw was that it requires a better floor than is in most of the shops that I know.

It was picked up by DR Power, and I do hope that they run with it.

Great idea.
When you go to a rally, you put it outside and use it as a recliner.

Pretty tough to deal with them. The evidence is so overwhelming. They
have you coming, going, mph through the intersection, your photo (with that
surprised look on your face), a photo of your license plate, and the part
that is most convincing is they have the amount of time the light was red
BEFORE you crossed the limit line (entered the intersection). If it's your
first, take traffic school online and don't do it again.

Don't answer the door for 90 days.

For future protection:

If you have a spouse, cross register your cars. (hers in your name, yours, in her name).

Register the car with a business. they cannot ticket a non-human.

If you see it and you know it is too late, flip your visor down or look down before the flash. They cannot ticket your bald head (LOL)

Assume all red light cameras are speed cameras. they usually are.

We had the first cameras here in Paradise Valley. We don't have front license plates due to all the influential people who live in PV. Now they have cameras that photograph both front and rear. It is also a video, so they will see your plate even with your tailgate down...

Legal gray areas surrounding traffic safety laws in some states have
spawned companies that sell red-light camera defense kits. For example,
California drivers can contact a company called
TicketKick<http://www.ticketkick.com/>with details of their red-light
camera ticket and get a customized written
defense they can mail into the court, as well as sample forms and other
documents.


You can ignore the ticket and hope to never get a summons to appear in
court. You have to be legally served before you are required to appear in
court. Does California have extra officers to go around and give summons
to people that don't pay for camera tickets. It is your call, but you take
the chance of having to pay a larger fine and court costs. Most
communities rely on people's guilt feelings to just go ahead and pay the
fine.

I went through this on yellow, it has 1 1/2 second yellow, L.A. has stated not to pay them,

i looked at the info sent it states it is a snitch ticket, asking who was driving for the

photo is bad. They do not go to court here for these, and the info is for the company

so i am going to keep it and see if another one comes in the mail. I am taking my new van out

to the desert and burn it, leave the country and go down under.

The law is, at least in most states, that you can not enter the intersection if the light is red. If it is yellow as you enter the intersection then you should be legal.

However, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.

Mickey,

That's not going to do you any good! We have red light cameras and speed cameras here too.

In New South Wales they don't muck around, Marcus Einfeld a retired Federal Court of Australia Justice lied about not being the
driver when he had his photo taken, he went to court and said he had loaned his car to a friend visiting from overseas.

The cops investigated and found he was lying and got done for perjury. Wound up spending two years of a three year sentence in jail!


The link below is an interesting read and as Sir Walter Scott wrote; "Oh! What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to
deceive!"

Talk here in San Diego is to not renew contract with company who owns the
cameras.
The company makes more money then the city and its not cutting down on
accidents.
If you fly in to San Diego and rent a car look out for the one on Pacific

I have not lied, and will not. the fact is that it states that it will not go to court and it is fishing, i will not reply

for L.A. city commissioners have stated that they are not legal now here. If you go through with it then you pay.

It is not a ticket here it is an ask to pay of your own will. I have had one 3 years ago in beverly hills, i paid that one, they are 456 dollars.

This one is not a ticket, it is a snitch alert form. So i have not perjured myself but i will wait for another notice and see.

Mickey, Rick Denney who used to be on here quite abit is involved in "traffic systems" (I think) when this came up earlier a long time ago, he (I believe) mentioned something about "Universal Traffic Code" See if you can find the info about it. The yellow light is supposed to be on for a specific time. If you do go to court, time the yellow at the intersection where you got "caught". Possibly if it doesn't comply with UTC eg yellow is TOO short, you have a defense. I seem to remember the YELLOW had to be 3 seconds.

this is why i am so in denial of this proposed notice, it is not a violation ticket,

If i get another notice i shall fight it on the time scale, for it is way faster than 3 seconds.

i went back and it is just 1 1/2 seconds. I went through just as it turned yellow.

thank you, i need to go video it. soon before they fix it. it was a left turn light on top of it with a car in front of me.

A ticket always gets mailed to the registered owner of the car. If both you and a spouse have a car; register the one you drive in her name and the one she drives in your name.

If you get a ticket when driving her car; when the ticket comes in the mail have her go to the address listed and challenge it.

They will ask her (since it is obvious a man is driving) if she knows the driver. Have her answer NO. The car was for sale and many people test drove it that day.

UNDER NO MEANS GO WITH HER TO CHALLENGE THE TICKET or they will reissue you the ticked because they will now recognize you from the picture Smile

The following is, in part at least, Rick Denny's comments re the length of time that the light should be yellow before it turns red that Dave King was referring to.


The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices says somewhere between 3 and 6 seconds, but specifies no design method. There are several clearance interval design methods in use. The most common is the one promulgated by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, and it includes three terms: perception-reaction time (taken to be 1 second), the time required to traverse the safe stopping distance at the speed limit (Speed / 20 on a flat approach), and the time required to cross the street (width of the crossing + vehicle length / speed). Speeds in feet/second--1.47 time mph. The first two terms are, by convention, shown as the yellow clearance interval, while the third is a red clearance.
