Signs & Signals

I got a traffic ticket for not stopping at a red light. However, I believe that I entered the intersection before the signal turned to red. There was no camera to support this charge.

I did not stop because my car was accelarated, I believed stopping would cause a more dangerous situation. Also, it was difficult to make a clear judgement because the situation was urgent.

I am wondering what is the minimum time a traffic light must give when changing from green to red?

This case determines liability following a collision that took place between vehicles driven by Claudio Nonis and Stefano Granata at the intersection of Hastings Street and Madison Avenue in Vancouver, B.C.

Question: I was issued a traffic violation for beating a red light at Hastings and Gore which I am certain that I did not. My son, who was the front seat passenger was my witness to the incident. However, I am not certain the court will accept his testimony because of our relationship. What are my chances of winning the dispute?

This is a case of failing to stop for a red light with evidence produced from a red light camera. Mr. Eged, a lawyer, attempts to have the charge quashed.
