Default 45 Red light runners in 2+ hours

Wow, one cop set up shop and was handing out tickets for red-light runners at one intersection in Orlando today. He got 45 people for running red lights in only 2 1/2 hours. Doesnt this tell us something about how bad it is here? Yikes!

Jeez....I am so glad that they are doing this. I fully support the red light cameras that are popping up all over. People really need to slow the f**k down around here!

maybe if they catch enough red light runners the city will make enough to take the tolls off the 408?

Yea right! lol

Maybe with long useless lights, and high gas prices people dont want to sit around all day at a light?

When I goto work at 3 in the morn I run the first 3 lights that just sit red out in the middle of no where.

No kidding! I think there's too many slow drivers here especially on one-lane roads like Boggy Creek. Most people driving here would not last one day in Dallas! If Orlando wants to be a big city than start driving like it! Peace
