False. I grew up in Nassau, took my two road tests (Car and motorcycle) in Nassau, and I currently live in Nassau. You are only supposed to move forward when you know you have a clear exit. Same reason why you cannot sit in an intersection just because you have a green light, yet there is no exit path for you.
I will attempt to pull up the DMV handbook.
And what is ticketed for does not mean what is and is not illegal. Many of us go up to 10mph over the speed limit on highways yet don't get tickets even with officers following us. This does not mean it is legal.
EDIT: Whoops, looks like I'm wrong.
Oh well. I still see a lot of people double up in the intersection :\
Good find on the DMV website rule. The double up part I was not aware that was not allowed. You learn something new everyday I guess
I suppose the trick would be to actually drive the speed limit and don't tailgate. This would prevent people from not being able to stop in time. And aren't we supposed to drive under the limit during heavy rain where visibility is limited? Common sense.
I noticed the same thing when the cameras went up. The reason I was having such a hard time was because I was driving 7-10 mph above the speed limit and following too close. I guess if I actually drove the limit and didn't follow too close I wouldn't have many issues. I have since learned to leave more room between cars. I still need to work on the slowing down part though.
My 'infraction' was to roll very slightly for a few seconds while waiting for the intersection to clear before making a LEGAL right turn on red. I was going so slow that it's hard to tell if I was stopped or rolling. I'm sure you never fail to stop completely for several seconds at every red light turn, right? No officer would EVER ticket someone for what I did.
All of you who simply want to claim that we all should drive perfectly deserve the shearing of your $$$ that's coming. BAA BAAA BAAAAAAH!!!

HELLOOOOOO..... don't you get it????? It's not "right on red after ROLL". It's "right on red after STOP", meaning a FULL STOP.
You said you got more than one ticket ---- were they all for "rolling on red"? Or did you just completely disregard the law on the other ones, too, and blow through red lights ?

BTW, other people here who've had these tickets mailed to them were annoyed, yes, but paid the ticket and considered it a lesson learned. You? You're trying to start a "citizens uprising" against red light cams because you got 4 tickets. You hoped everyone would rally around you but they didn't because you're wrong and you're a cry baby complaining that you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
So, I'm guessing whoever gets the "shearing" of a $50 ticket will just pay it since they knew they did something wrong. I, for one, seriously doubt anyone here will try to cause an "uprising" over it.
Grow up and accept the consequences of YOUR behavior!
LOL!! I was thinking the same thing!! Funny how he hasn't posted a follow up.
I really did not expect a groundswell or uprising. I was venting and wanted to gauge the level of outrage. Apparently, there's not much and I'm not too surprised. It's always been the active few who make changes happen. I, for one, will not bend over this time. my own
