my sister as fought 2 of those tickets and i belive she won---she stated that it wasn't her driving---that someone borrowed her car and they dismisssed the ticket!



did she have to appear in court? or just wrote it on the ticket? I'd pay $50 to not have to appear lol

those stink b/c sometimes you didnt MEAN to run the light... lke when the person in front of you slows down...



YES or the person behind you is coming up too fast and if you slam on the brakes you end up with them in your trunk

ETA because I am an inconsiderate b!tch - Helen, I'm sorry they caught you - clearly it means you weren't driving fast enough

exactly what I was thinking!! especially since FIL was a deputy inspector in the NYPD ......I've gotten out of a few tickets that way......never for speeding though gratefully, always something like a seatbelt or a brake light out!

no I really wasn't, and what's worse, I'm almost positive I was on my cell phone (w/ Mimi!) when I ran that light!! doh!! so I guess that caused my delayed reaction to gunning it!!!

I got one of those a few months ago and it actually had me cracking up to see my car going through the light! I dont know why! At least the fine isnt too expensive and you wont get points taken off! Sorry!

Is that the one in Douglaston by CVS??? They nab so many peopel there.


Why don't you fight it and say you weren't driving it? Say you were at work and a friend borrowed the car. Can someone dummy up a letter for you?????


I got one of those once on Northern Blvd getting onto the cross Island. It was only $50.00 then, They suck!!!!



yea Douglaston Pkwy is the cross street......it's still $50, I got another ticket when my car was parked for $75 a few weeks ago (registration expired! doh!!) the funny part is I never drive b/c I take the train to work so it really pisses me off when I get tickets!!

]

I was just about to ask the same question!! When I was a Senior in highschool my dad comes to me screaming that I got a ticket there in his car...I look at the ticket and it says 8:00am on a Tuesday morning... Um Dad, you drive me to school in the morning, so I'm pretty sure that belongs to you!!!!

That light is the worst!!!

OMG that's too funny!! last year when my car was being fixed I was using DH's Jeep for a while, he gets a ticket in the mail and immediately assumed it was me, until I pointed out the date & time, I was at work!! so it had to be him!
