One way to beat a red-light camera: Don’t enter the intersection on a yellow light. I know someone who had to pay $300.

Some town here in Tennessee is now experimenting with camera/video/radar units which clock your speed then mail you a speeding ticket

That causes its own problems.

From here:

In 2007, the Virginia Department of Transportation documented a 29 percent increase in accidents and a 19 percent increase in injuries at red-light camera intersections. This is because drivers slam on their brakes or speed up to try to avoid getting a camera ticket, thus causing more accidents.

That's fine in theory, Newbie.

Except its been found, reported, and posted here on FR numerous times that these Companies or Towns decrease the time the Yellow Light is on. So an intersection that once had a Five Second Yellow, now has a Three Second Yellow with the Camera. And wallah -- you're now caught going through or in the intersection on a Red Light, when the day before you'd make it through the intersection before the Red Light went on.

Being a Newbie you obviously missed all those threads.

Studies have shown that they reduce the yellow light intervals where they set up the cameras.
