If a vehicle stops in front of you, and that scares you, you must have been following too close!
Have you ever paid attention to the whole picture of traffic signals?
First off, there is usually a pause between the red of one direction, to the green and walk of the other. Even when there isn't, it still takes time for a pedestrian or car to accelerate.
I haven't heard a single argument that doesn't sound like any better of an excuse than "my dog ate my homework."
I am infuriated by drivers who think they are the only ones that matter on the roadways. There are other methods of "traffic quelling" that bother me, but not red light cameras.
Yes, I understand your view is that if a pedestrian steps in front of your vehicle or a car stops while you are in an intersection, you'll run over the pedestrian or slam into the car ramming it out of the intersection because you are not afraid to comply with law. :roll
Or is it that you are pretending that pedestrians wait for the "walk" sign and cross only within the cross walk and that no cars actually every run a red light IF they are coming the other way in a love affair with robo-camera cops no-matter-what.
What has not been seen is you or anyone explaining how a person can avoid a redlight camera ticket with certainty UNLESS there are not other vehicles at or near the intersection, no pedestrians, and you stop and wait for the light to cycle thru to green again.
