I THINK I got one of those Red Light camera photo's taken of my truck just days after I arrived in Oregon.

My E-350, 14 ft Box Van, fully loaded. I'm sitting there at the light waiting for the green, got it, I goes. Slowly of course, I got a full load, making a turn, don't want stuff to shift position in the back. I enter the intersection and BAM the light turns YELLOW, I was like, "What?". As I approach the cross walk to exit the interesection, light turns red. Then BAM, two flashes of light, they nailed me for running a red light!

As I understand it, it does take TWO pictures. One shows the vehicle, the other shows when the red light turned red. I was well into the intersection when the light turned red. I theorize that is why I never got anything in the mail for a ticket? Unless their just waiting for me to show up somewhere so they can nail me then?

Time lag on the yellow light seems to extra ordinarily short.
