Default Red Light Camera Ticket? - Houston

Just headed back down the service road on 59. Make it through the light on yellow/orange but see a big flash of light as I go through the intersection and no one was behind me! What's it going to cost me?

If you run it super fast it will blur the picture.

man those things are gay, my mom ran it and she got a $75 fine. Honestly I think there will be more accidents with these new flash cameras because more people will be slamming on their brakes very abruptly when they see the yellow light and causing the people behind them to bash right into them.

So I cannot take defensive driving for the ticket? Or does it not go on my record? My record is perfect and I want to keep it that way!

If there is a video watch it. The law is that it is legal as long as you enter the intersection under yellow. It has nothing to do with what the light is when you exit the intersection.

They will send you a picture of you're car in the middle of the intersection and the red light at the same time. If you do not pay by the due date you're fine will double.
