Smart not Stealth

[PerryA]

Got nabbed by a traffic camera. . .guess the diminutive size doesn't let us navigate under the radar. The distinctive car makes it difficult to argue "it just looks like me." On the bright side, I now have a very nice photo of my car on the road.

At least with a cop you can argue "it just looks like it's going fast because it's soooo small!"

And, yep, it's hard to say it must of been someone else, too.

Good luck~!

Yeah, I received a red light camera ticket b/c I was behind a large public safety vehicle (that wasn't responding to an emergency) that ran a light and I couldn't see around, over, or through it. The other vehicle was not cited...

Technically, if you can't see around, over or through a vehicle and can't see the light... you're too close, regardless of what you're following, or what circumstances. I've heard of people trying to defend a ticket with the size issue... comes back the same answer. El que pega por atras, paga. "He who hits from behind, pays." 3 second rule is the minimum. Fire trucks say to stay 500 feet behind - because they're huge, and can stop and/or veer without notice.

Wallet sized photos of a wallet sized car? I like that. Too bad the ticket is bigger than both - $100.

Guess this makes up for the non-parking ticket I got when the car was new. I was legally parked and wondered how I could have gotten a ticket. That parking officer had simply written, "Where's the rest of the car" on a ticket envelope. The image is posted here somewhere.

Well, there goes all your fuel savings

Hmmm... no a smart can't beat the camera, neither can a Neon nor a Lambo. Even with those "plate blockers in place".

And neither can a rocket car! (go mythbusters!)
