Annals of traffic-cams

by Walter Olson on October 5, 2008

The traffic camera automatically recorded the license plate of the vehicle going too fast, so the owner (in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa) was automatically mailed a ticket. The only problem: the vehicle was being towed by a tow truck at the time. (Stumblng Tumblr, Aug. 5).

More from commenter Cathy Gellis: “I know someone who canceled her Fastrak/EZ Pass automatic toll account and was charged when the device passed through a toll while being mailed back.”

Hey! Rules are rules!

I’ve tripped the red light camera near my house many times while making a legal right on red. Fortunately (for me), the camera operator has a bad case of common sense. Too bad it isn’t a disease of epidemic proportion.

That is why EZ-Pass gives you the foil pouch to put the transponder in when you don’t want it read.
