I was driving and I came to traffic lights, I literaaly went through as they were turning red.
The road was a crossroads, I noticed a traffic light camera on the road at a right angle to the one I was on. It was about 3 metres away and facing other traffic lights, not mine. Will I get a ticket?
Re: outolunch

that’s pretty pathetic. If I’d stopped, the car behind would have gone into my bumper. Think before you post. You come across ignorant.

Depends on if the camera is actually monitored, or, actually hooked up. You won’t know unless it comes in your mail. Some cameras are actually out there as a deterrent, but they’re not in operation or they may be temporarily out of service. Just be mindful that unless you do get a ticket, you’ll never know which camera is on at that time and who may be reviewing the tapes. As long as you didn’t do anything incredibly stupid, like cut someone off/almost broadside them/almost hit a pedestrian, and you have a clean driving record, I wouldn’t worry too much.

When you get a traffic ticket, it doesn’t seem very funny at the moment, but when you sit back and take a look at the things people will do to fight a traffic ticket, most of them seem downright dumb. And in all honesty, the best way to fight a traffic ticket is not to remember what to do, but remember what you shouldn’t do!

Think about it - You’re stuck in traffic and your patience is running thin. Trying to get around traffic, you pull onto the shoulder and pass traffic until a cop comes to pull you over. When the cop comes to your window, the excuses start to fly off of the handle. “Well officer, sounded like it was about to explode, so I figured I would drive on the shoulder until I could get off on the next exit”. He probably won’t buy this one. This is one way NOT to beat a ticket!

What about when you approach a stop sign, look around to see if anyone is there, and then blow completely through it? Sure enough, a cop is right around the corner and pulls you over. Then, you give the usual “I didn’t see it” or “I came to a full stop”. He probably won’t buy these, either.

You see, these are prime examples of what you shouldn’t do when you get pulled over for a traffic violation. If you want to know exactly what you should do, I know of an excellent resource that could have you beating nearly every traffic ticket that you ever get, all without the lame excuses!

Google Inc. appears to be on the verge of buying YouTube Inc. for at least $1.6 billion in a deal that would catapult the Internet search leader to a leading role in the online video revolution. This is a very good move for Google strategically as it opens to them the possibility to grow in one Internet area where they were not very big — that is, video,”

WEB SEARCH leader Google Inc. said on Monday it agreed to acquire top video entertainment site YouTube Inc. for $1.65 billion in stock, the highest price yet paid for a consumer-generated media site. The first deal to value one of the new generation of user-participation Web sites at more than $1 billion combines two of the most popular Internet brands: Google, synonymous with Web search and rapid innovation, and You Tube, a Silicon Valley upstart that has spearheaded the video-sharing craze.

The acquisition combines one of the largest and fastest growing online video entertainment communities with Google’s expertise in organizing information and creating new models for advertising on the Internet. The combined companies will focus on providing a better, more comprehensive experience for users interested in uploading, watching and sharing videos, and will offer new opportunities for professional content owners to distribute their work to reach a vast new audience.
“The YouTube team has built an exciting and powerful media platform that complements Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful,” said Eric Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of Google. “Our companies share similar values; we both always put our users first and are committed to innovating to improve their experience. Together, we are natural partners to offer a compelling media entertainment service to users, content owners and advertisers.”

You Tube, which grew in 19 months from a start-up in a garage to now serve up 100 million videos daily, has drawn scrutiny from major media companies for copyrighted television and music videos that users post without owner consent. While YouTube said on Monday it had signed a spate of distribution agreements with major record labels, some analysts caution Google could still be inviting lawsuits with this acquisition.

Nonetheless, in anticipation of the deal, investors pushed shares of Google up $8.50, or 2 per cent, on Nasdaq on Monday to a closing price of $429.00 a level not seen since late April. In extended hour’s trade, Google climbed to $431.55.
“YouTube is phenomenally valuable in terms of traffic and in the Internet sector this is important just like location is important in real estate,” Oppenheimer analyst Sasa Zorovic said of combining YouTube with Google’s advertising machinery. Analysts said the deal would thrust Google quickly into the emerging market for video advertising, where it has only a tiny foothold compared with Yahoo Inc. And start-ups. The all-stock deal, expected to close this quarter, was structured to make it tax-free for YouTube shareholders and cheaper for Google than paying cash, company officials said.

My husband wants me to hide my violations because we are trying to get a new policy right now. I figure why wouldn’t everyone do that then?

Let’s just say they don’t do the double check, and issue a policy based on your false record. Then you have an accident before the double check is done, and then the real record comes in. They can deny a claim based on the fact they may not have issued a policy with the proper data, or, at the very least, would have been charging a higher premium for a higher risk.

If the record comes in after the policy is issued, and you haven’t had an accident, you will get a letter demanding an explanation for the missing declaration (remember, you have to sign the application), and then they will decide whether to cancel you for cause, or bill you a higher premium.

Your husband wants to play a game that can have very serious consequences. If you have a policy cancelled for cause, you have a problem getting any kind of policy at a decent price.
