This is so,...

to slow down overall car speed.

LTA doesn't want cars moving fast. They want to see them nicely collected at red light boxes everywhere.

By their logic speed kills, speed = accident.

So it's better to have majority of cars crawling around on the roads.

Anyone knows if the cctv camera at junctions can catch people beating red light? I am losing my sleep

Yes they can.  But unless they were wired to flash and take a picture when you beat the red light, it is unlikely that the red light beater will get caught unless the officer was watching the cctv at that time or just playing back to review and found it out.

So unlikely but within the realm of possible. 

And dont forget while you worry about the CCTV, the killer evidence might actually be footage from the car camera of a car behind you....

Cant tell you for sure.  Cos I have never been caught for beating red light camera.

I was caught for speeding once but the letter came a month later and only a warning so I cant say if that is the norm.

Can be up to 6 mths or 1 year. Govt very busy now you know. Technically they can send you notice 6 years 11 months and 29 days from the date of your offence.

Should take action instead of increasing the fine. Increase $1000 more also will not have any impact on the streets if no action taken on reckless driving.

12 points, $400 penalty still not heavy enough?

Let me suggest. . .

Revoke them from driving for a month. They must go back and take "offender BTT" test then can take back the license. haha. 100 question instead of 50.

 

My understanding is some people (Like myself) super scared of exam one. hahaha.

if it were heavy enough you would see less of it on the roads.. even motorcyclists sometimes move off before the light turns green

Penalty is heavy .. but what is the assurance that drivers will not drive after hitting 24-points? Usually after kena accident then only they realize that the guy has no license, or suspended, or no roadtax, or no insurance, etc

If you chiong red lights and got caught/reported, just take it like a man. It's idiots that chiong red lights and endanger others, not the one reporting. No sympathy here for law breakers, especially those who rant.

I paid up. Suspect my view was blocked by a truck. This is akin to the first time a virgin visits a prostitude. I have an unblemished record for 31 years, this my first and I got an ang pao.
