i think the traffic fines are a bit steep. I understand that running a red light is ilegal HOWEVER there are situations where you have slowly crept up to the line and your wheel has just accidently gone over the line and snap, you have been caught without any intention of crossing the line.

I understand there was mention about the people coming up behind you, yes the defence they made me do it won't work but it would be better then having a 4wd slam into the back of you because SOME PEOPLE do not care about traffic lights or speed limits because they get away with it.

the red light camera should be on the other side of the lights after you pass over the line a considerable amount. There are situations where you have to slam on the breaks and you may just pass the line but then reverse back or don't continue to go through... you still get fined!!!

Perhaps they should make the fines stick to the people who are the real offenders and not let them get off all the time, leaving us 'safer' drivers stuck with fines
