At Cobb Parkway and Windy Hill. :embarrasm / :shifty / :rolleyes

The pictures show a huge box truck in front of me as I turn left, so I couldn't see the light... think I have any chance of getting out of it?

$70... worth going to court over if I have a chance.

That camera has been there for a long time now. My rader detector always goes off on Laser everytime I go through it. I keep for getting about it, and it always scares the crap out of me. I would since it's a moving violation=points on license.

I thought camera tickets didn't go against you.

Maybe it doesn't? I figured it did since technically it's a moving violation, but you could be right. I never gotten busted from a camera so I have no idea. If that's the case, I would just pay it. Not worth fighting for.

No, it's worth fighting. $70 is like a whole day's pay.

Versus the day's pay you'd lose going to court for a dumb $70 ticket? :confused

Forget it. Pay it, and get on with life... :rolleyes



Oh, and next time, wait until you can see what color the light is. ;)

shit good luck with that

they have 4 pictures of you committing the crime and dont need a cop to show up.. Your chances are so slim I wouldnt waste 5 minutes even thinking about it.

Sorry man.. It blows

Yeah they have pictures, but these pictures also show a huge box truck right in front of me blocking my view of the light. :dunno

In which case they'll ask why you were following the truck so close that you couldn't even see the light. :)

Don't fight it...you were in the wrong any way you look at it. You most definitely should not have gone if you couldn't see the light. I think the judge would tear you up.

I actually change my status.

I would go and ask for a trial by Jury! Seriously! Its allowed and they stand the best chance of finding you innocent, OR the judge/DA will get pissed at your attempt and come up with a plea bargain

Matt

I think I'll just pay it. I need to build up a little legal Karma. :help

Smart move. You'll save more in time and hassle than you'll ever get back by trying to get out of it. :thumbup:

I got a red-light ticket at that Cobb Pkwy/ Windy Hill light, right by the Volvo dealer!

Got some nice night shots of the back of my car, plus a $70 ticket.

No points or insurance stuff, just a fine.

Don't you work at the BMW Motorcycles place? Isn't it next to Manuel's Mercedes? There's so much traffic over there, I hate Cobb Pkwy. And Cobb Co. police! :mad

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and not really. I don't have a beef with the police, they have a tough job and do OK generally. I have a problem with politicians who rely on the police for ticket revenue.

I have been pulled over twice in Cobb county before I got my tag and they just wanted to make sure my truck wasn't hot. :dunno
