If you budget for $1,000.00 a year in fines you should be ok! :D

I think "someone" is full of shit.
The fines have a set FINITE value... cops can't just make up dollar amounts and fine you whatever they see fit. |

I suppose if you break every rule int he book with the police chasing you the fines could add up.. you know like running a red 4 times, not stopping for peds 12 times.... etc etc I dunno if there is a max in that aspect...
But like Rob said per ticket it's a set value... so it's not like the cop could take a Equip violation ticket and because he doesn't like the color of your car and write in $1500. |

I think at this point is stops being a moving violoation and starts being criminal charges (e.g resisting arrest/ evading ..etc. I am not really familiar with those). I still hope the offender gets his/her license revocted along with the prison sentence. |

| Does that count for the judge also? Or would he/she have the power to make the "end cost" higher if they feel they should. Like if you get a ticket for speeding in which there is no amount written like the pink tickets could the judge fine what ever they want? like the $15,000. |

If you get a ticket so bad that the police can't fine you... And you get sent to court to deal with it, I presume the charges would be much heftier - however - I would think the judge also has a scale to go by when fining someone monetarily.
Why?
Do something extremely stupid?

That one seems a little out of line with the rest of them. I would think running a red light would be more severe than not yielding to a pedestrian. |

why?. its a joke, its not like I really speed.
I saw only 1 copcar parked on the AH today facing easybound traffic, and a van on the SPFwy with Photo.
Nice to see them out doing their job.. and I'm glad they're out there keeping an eye out for retarded drivers. |

Absolutely wrong.
Failure to yeild for a pedestrian is one of the most severe infractions of the law...
And I've seen people get pulled over and handed the $575 ticket for not slowing down, coming to a stop, and letting someone cross the street. |

I understand that's what it is, I'm just saying that cruising through a red light seems like a more "unsafe condition" than if you saw someone at a crosswalk & didn't stop.
I don't think either is acceptable & it is personally a pet peeve of mine how only about 10% of drivers actually stop for pedestians to cross. |

My mistake then.
I guess it depends on the circumstances.
If it's 4am and you're driving to work down some back ass road and there's a red light and nobody around for miles... Go through it, I don't care.
If you're in the middle of the city, and there's a mother with her two small children trying to cross the street, and people are blowing by them at 60km/h... That's BS! |

But failing to yield to a pedestrian has a very good chance of costing the pedestrian their life. Car vs. Man.. Car always wins. While running a redlight is as dangerous, other motorists are a bit more protected by their vehicles. I however assume if there is a pedestrain in the crosswalk where the driver ran a redlight, the driver would get charged with both infractions. |

Yup.. actually almost saw that a while back, I was south bound on 95st and 102ave(right by hughes) all southbound lanes had stopped, the left north bound lane stopped... so a lady with her stroller started to cross west to east... far right northbound lane a photo radar minivan came flying up slammed on the brakes locking up and almost hit her.... the rest of us had been stopped for a good 20-30 seconds by now... |

I have been guilty of that as well though...
In a bad mood or whatever, driving around, seems like every light catches me... Driving, driving, then all of a sudden people up ahead of me stop for "no apparent reason" and I pull into the open lane and speed up to go around everyone... Only to find out there are people crossing the street.
Fuck.
ALL CROSSWALKS SHOULD BE MARKED *AND* LIT with those crossing lamps... |
