BikeRider, I am curious but it would seem said lady could have been sued. Not that it gets your leg back the way it should be. In any case, one other item here is the profit motive for the company that puts these systems in place which of course drives up the cost of the ticket.
When I finally got around to getting a California License and plates (ignored the 20 day rule), I was leaving the Genessee DMV, and watched someone right beside me miss the light and crunch someone turning left into the intersection. Luckily no passenger in the car turning, so no injury. This person wasn’t merely late into the intersection, there was a good 2 seconds, they just flat didn’t look. Right in front of DMV so cops everywhere.
