    Default Notice of Unpaid Red Light Ticket from Almost 3 Years Ago

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Texas

    Hello. I live in Florida & my daughter used my car in Texas. I had received (to Florida address) about 4 citations for the vehicle registered to me, & paid them all promptly.
    Today, I get a notice for an unpaid ticket from 2-2-2012 for $100 ($75 + 25 penalty)

    I remember paying 1 red light camera ticket, but I cannot find any checks in my statement history for that time frame.

    How do I find out if this is bogus?

    I haven't received any "unpaid" notice until today- almost 3 years later!

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    My understanding is the amount of 75 plus 25 is correct if paid late. It won't be reported to your insurance company. Your liability is civil. Even if you could find a check or credit card payment from that time frame, the argument could be made that you ran two lights, not one.

    Maybe you can contact the people asking for payment and get online access to the photos or video of the alleged violation. If they have the vehicle license number, my guess is it's not bogus.

    Thank you for the reply. You were correct. I found out that there were 2 red light citations.

    I never received the 2nd one.

    Now I received clemency with the authorities. Yay!

    Happy Thanksgiving back!

    I think you or your daughter actually did commit the violations and you should send a check for 10 times the amount of the fine right away to the red light camera company. It's the least you can do! And, your daughter should be prohibited from driving a motor vehicle in any state for the rest of her life! Also, you should pay every driver who drove a motor vehicle on the day of any alleged violation in the same zip code as your daughter when any vehicle code violation was alleged a check for 1,000.00 dollars! Do it now. Make sure you don't ever give her a set of keys to any vehicle. I hate it when people don't take responsibility for their actions.

    If you didn't sound so bitter, your post might actually sound hilarious!

    Know one denied their actions, as you imagine in your own mind. We don't think, we know there was another ancient citation now. But they didn't mail it then. Get it? So, if I was all bitter & crappy defending my non-knowledge of the another fine- I would still owe it. In fact, I was surprised & relieved.
    But you don't seem to like to be happy for people. I think you over react & need anti-anxiety medication -& need to concentrate less on hating things & get more positive.

    Jesus loves you, donzoh1.

    Maybe you will gain some understanding when you have children yourself!

    I'm having trouble telling whether you're serious here. Most people around here are well aware that I've avoided successfully my share of traffic infraction responsibility and have helped others do the same since I believe the whole traffic court system is much more about money than about safety. So, to clear things up completely, I'll say that any bitterness I feel in this area stems from the knowledge of companies such as Redflex INC. It is under investigation for bribery in more than a dozen states (including mine) and public officials have accepted those bribes and/or received improper benefits as public employees. Furthermore, consistent with my statement above, red light violations are routinely enforced with red times less than 2 tenths of a second which involve a microscopic or zero risk component.

    So, don't send them any money, even if you feel a slight tinge of guilt!
