i hate traffic cameras.
I've only been to driver retraining!
It makes sense, but sadly these days with traffic cameras you're better off slamming on your brakes and risking the rear-end accident.
problem is I have seen people completely blow through the red light after it has clearly been red ....
Even this instance isn't that harmful. In addition to the all-red time, there is also a startup delay for the car that will be getting a green light. It'll be at least another second before the vehicle starts moving. At best it would be a half-second reaction time to the green light, and, at best it would be a half second take take foot off brake, (release clutch), and engage throttle.
Yuo have obviously never seen me take off from a green light!!

Crazy people in that area...
I resent that. Oh wait, you're right. We are crazy. :crazy:
