Maybe in generating revenue.
How long after you run the first RL do you get notification of the violation? A person can run several RLs in one day,before getting notice for the first violation.Then again,how many RLCs are running at any particular time? How many intersections are covered?
IL's hunt for revenue continues 4023Brent P Motorhead Lawyer relatives that Not that I haven't considered it. Always figured I didn't go through often enough (about 4 times-year lately). How do they figure whether or not...
The folks running RLs while on the phone usually don't even know they ran the RL.(unless people blast their horns when it happens,or there's a collision) So,it's just a fee for running RLs. Run several and do they revoke your driver's license? I do not believe so.Why not?
Most RLC setups do not buttign points to the driver,because they don't ID the driver.Then some states revert to making people accept the violation or turn in the person who they claim did run the RL.Some states just buttign the ticket to the vehicle,like a parking ticket.
Here in Orlando,traffic is so heavy that people run RLs intentionally because they don't want to stop and wait.Several cars go thru on one RL,happens all over the Orlando area,every day.Maybe three times a year they have a big "enforcement" drive,the rest of the time,it's rare to see anyone pulled over for running a RL. I stop for RLs,and been rear-ended twice,avoided others by a last minute decision to not stop.I have also seen 6 six incidents where a police car was present when a car blantantly ran a RL,and the cop did nothing.
