argh! got a red light camera ticket when a car cut me off (went straight in a turn only lane).

Posted by Guy (aka lostatlimbo) Jul 8 '09, 08:33

i had to slam on my brakes to avoid collision, which is when the red light camera went off.

the shittiest part is that the camera didn't catch the other car at all! so now i have to try to prove this happened, even though you can only see me in the photos.
