DUMBEST TICKETEVER!!! Options

[mrgrape]

k so as u guys may know i was worried when a flash camera flashed when i turned right on red near my workplace ....
later finding out it wasnt a no turn on red sign and that i didnt get ticketed....
so later last week , knowing the camera is just bull****, i turned right on red again and i got flashed,,,driving home thinking that cameras retarded and doesnt work.
then i get a ticket for that ****! it says failure to stop at red light.
im going to contest this to see the video footage, as with pics i really cant tell but wow im just so appaled by how STUPID this ticket is....
later researching of the law , i found

From what I understand, the sensor that is aimed at the right turn lane does not activate the camera if you had made a full stop before the limit line & then proceeded through the red light after checking for cross traffic. If you rolled through & over/past the limit line without a complete stop, then the is camera activated...

I know that in LA County, the fine is approximately $356. This might vary slightly by County.

just because CA is in a defecit doesnt mean i need to get a 400 DOLLAR TICKET for having to come to a COMPLETE stop in which in my head i STOPPED to check the intereserction
i stopped and saw that no car was going, so i went.
would i be able to sue the city back for wasting my time for a retarded ticket? i mean actually catch people that are speeding or driving drunk for christs sake!

my friend was also telling me that next time the camera flashes, i should crash the car right after so that i can sue the city that they gave me a seizure and made me lose control thus getting a new car.

i know some of u guys always joke just because of my username, let me know in an UNBIAS way please.
i mean ive been a law abiding drivier, sticking to the speed limit and then this ****!

Actually, I've gotten a ticket for speeding when I was travelling UNDER the speed limit, by an actual policewoman. That is a much dumber ticket.

So you're saying that you can't remember if you came to a complete stop or not?

[mrgrape]

nm i looked at the footage today and after viewing i guess since i so the people on my right turning left i knew it was safe and turned right....but didnt know the dumbass traffic camera actually tickets for dumb things like that.

but since this car is registered to my mom and it is ticketed to my mom, can she go to court and say it is not her who is in the car?

k true that is a dumber ticket. well i knew it was safe to turn right, but i get ticketed because i didnt come to a complete stop......
i mean if their trying to do safety, thats me........aggh irritating for dumb tickets

[95st-celica]

shoulda got the point the first time when it flashed and you got lucky...thats what happens when you push your luck...if the sign says no turn on red..DON'T TuRN oN ReD!!!!11!!

[mrgrape]

no it doesnt say no turn on red, thats why i thought the first flash was a complete flaw in the traffic camera after checking in daytime, there was no sign.l...
so 2nd time, since i thought it was a legal no turn on red and i saw that it was safe without comming to a COMPLETE stop, i went and now got ticketed....
sigh what i get for driving as safely and legal as possible.... going to school full time and working full time...
now im gonna get a point and insurance rate goes up....sigh i love life

[Random_Stranger]

Wasn't there one of these posted awhile back and they closed it? Was that last one posted by the same person? I know the title is familiar.

[Rayme]

You still have to stop to turn right on a red light, it's like a stop sign buddy. Where did you learn to drive? This is common sense here and the court will see it exactly as that.

It doesn't matter that you figured it was safe by the other cars turning. The law is that you need to STOP at a red light, even if you're going to turn right and there's no sign saying you can't, the light is still RED which means you need to come to a COMPLETE STOP before proceeding. If that isn't what you did, then you broke the law regardless of how many other laws you follow you broke this one and it is your fault.

And it isn't your username that people make jokes about, its what you post.

please dont talk like i dont know hot to drive....
its also called the CALIFORNIA stop or HOLLYWOOD stop, and im a CA driver..
anyways looking at the video, i have no defense because the law is to come to a complete stop......im just saying how stupid the ticket is as the fee is the same as running a red light. sigh.

[hurley97]

because you did run a red light.

Because that's what it is. the light was red and you ran through it. at low speed or high speed, you still didn't stop at the red light.

i know some of u guys always joke just because of my usernamee

Stef is right its not your username.

lol.

[celica9110]

$237 ticket for not using a clicker in a right hand turn lane only!!!!
beat that!
also 4 pts

[CelicaST_CALI]

Has no one here heard of a CALIFORNIA rolling stop??no possible way everyone stops completely every time they turn on red..give him ma break...SO u telling me...if ur driving down the road and tis a red light with traffic going across and u gun it and go right through it and cause ppl to crash is the same as slowing down for a turn and the turned WHEN YOU ARE SHIELDED.Mr grape wat u need to do is get teh video for like 2 hours prior to ur ticket..and count how many ppl dont stop at that light....But u do u need to be more careful whenever ur entering a crowded intersection..

my dad got the exact ticket a few months ago..he saw ppl were turning left so he slowed down the turned..the camera said he was going 17mph..when a prius can take a 90 degree turn at 17mph,celicas should be able to take it at about 60 hahahaha..


rjb whats the point of your post???

you guys in cali may call it a cali rolling stop but every where else its just a rolling stop. weather is a cali rolling stop or a reg rolling stop they are still consider breaking the law weather you are at a light or a stop sign.

[x_itchy_b_x]

tape a fake plate number over your plate. like the plate of some one you dont like. run through it alllllll day

just saw a news article on kids doing this to teachers lol.

You might know how to drive but you don't seem to understand that not coming to a complete stop isn't a infraction. Isn't this the whole point of your thread? I'd be a hypocrite if I said I did all my 2-3 second of stop, but I sure do them if I see a cop, if theres heavy traffic or if I knew there was a camera and device watching me- and I wouldn't be whinning I I get caugh and knew I didnt stop. grow up.

Quoted. For. Truth.

Are you sure it wasn't just the paparazzi chasing you again?

[Galcobar]

Has no one here heard of a CALIFORNIA rolling stop??

Yes, a California rolling stop is a common slang or shorthand term to refer to the failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, used to indicate the lazyness or stupidity of the driver.

Red means stop. Period.

Red lights mean stop. Stop signs mean stop. This is true even in California, as your ticket indicates.

And since I'm guessing you probably paid more attention to your friends than your written driving booklet, amber and yellow lights also mean stop if you safely can. If you have the option to stop on a yellow, do so.

Further advice: wear your seatbelt; signal your turns and lane changes before, not during; and keep in mind pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks (this would be another reason why rolling through a stop sign is illegal).

[CelicaST_CALI]

its not my ticket..i drive like a saint he doesnt need driving advice...haha well he probly does but he doesnt want it!!!


yea lagos mrgrape is secretly brittany spears..hahahahhahahahah

[CelicaST_CALI]

I can always count on plyr to find some kinda hilarious picture


Congrats mrgrape!!i know uve worked hard for it!!

[Cutrara]

To the OP: hey man, if I were you I'd just keep stuff like this to myself... even if you were 100% right (which you weren't) most people here are just gonna hate on you (I'm not cause thats retarded)... your last few topics have given you a bad name and it seems like everyone here wants to jump on the bashing bandwagon. peace bro.


...IBTL

Actually, I've gotten a ticket for speeding when I was travelling UNDER the speed limit, by an actual policewoman. That is a much dumber ticket.

what you should have said was, ask if they have proof that your speeding, if they were just going off their speedo, then you cant get a ticket, to a point

[jesterwr217]

i feel dumb for actually reading this post....
does anyone else want to ban OP??

[CelicaST_CALI]

no not ban^^^ mod preview...

[RickJamesBish]

rjb whats the point of your post???

Are you kidding me? Ask everyone else.


The fact that he didn't completely brake isn't most important, what's stupid is going past a zone where you knew you were flashed before and doing the same thing again...that's retarded and asking for it.

[stetsonaw]

face it... you broke the law, we all do, you just happened to get caught. next time you post about a ticket, do what the rest of us would do, admit that you got caught doing something retarded. it makes the lashings less harsh

next week on mrgrapes crazy life: gets pulled over for throwing a candy wrapper out the window and tries to fight it! "the guy in front of me threw one out so i figured it was ok occifer!" lol j/p man.

[Add45]

wow go easy on the noob you guys damn

Exactly !
that's why I said it before, I look forward to every Mr Grape post. I have read every single one of them. lol

wow go easy on the noob you guys damn

you joined on Sept 08, he's been here since Jun or Jul 07, we took it easy on him, but his grace time is over lol

[CAMAricer]

Lose his license for a simple ticket? Wow, wonder what the penalty for jaywalking is?

i cant even read this thread.

i hope you loose your license, or loose the car, or both.

BTW, yes you can argue that it was not your mom driving the car...she just needs to say it wasn't her driving, simple as that. She can't get a ticket for something someone else does in her car. And since there is no proof that you were the one driving (no cop pulled you over), it's safe to say you dodged a bullet.
