G6ET8U Playing with Sports Bikes... Silver Donating Members 1,927 Member For: 19y 3m 14d Gender: Male Location: Whistling, GTX. Posted 22/03/06 09:31 AM Share Posted 22/03/06 09:31 AM Here's the story...I'm turning right behind a Semi Trailer and I had passed the lights on my right hand side but had no view of the lights over from me because the truck was in the way, when I passed the lights on my direct right they were green but the truck was going so slowly I was still only starting my turn once in the intersection when they changed from amber to red and got flashed, there was a car on my inside (right) that was later in to the intersection than I was and a car behind me as well so maybe it wasn't me but all I know is that the camera flashed a few times...Would I have a hope of contesting it? I'm pretty annoyed now, as I consider myself (here we go...) to be a very experienced driver and safe on the roads, I drive trucks for a living doing over 100,000k's a year, so I value my licence and my points and wouldn't put either of those at risk just to make sure I get through the next sets of lights, one thing it has taught me is patience and it seems I'm still gonna get done... What do you guys think? Have I got a chance if the ticket comes in the mail?Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 22/03/06 10:02 AM Author Share Posted 22/03/06 10:02 AM You guys are mental...I would've smoked 'em up but because my car is still a week away from an edit and on 20" wheels it doesn't tend to like leaving a smokey behind me... Good ideas though, maybe I'll use them next time after my edit... Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
