Red light camera tickets can feel unfair — especially if you weren’t the one driving. The good news? You may have options to fight the ticket.
How Red Light Cameras Work:
- Installed at intersections to catch drivers who run red lights
- Take photo and video evidence
- Ticket mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle
Ways to Challenge the Ticket:
- You weren’t driving – show proof (e.g., car was loaned)
- Blurry or unclear image – check if license plate or driver is visible
- No proper signage – some states require warning signs
- Timing errors – yellow light may have been too short
- Outdated or malfunctioning camera
What to Do:
- Request a hearing
- Bring supporting evidence (photos, witness)
- In some states, you can submit a declaration by mail
Tips:
- Pay attention to deadlines
- Don’t ignore the ticket — it could affect your license or credit
- Consider consulting a traffic attorney
