NSW Red light Cameras

[anthony_VWJET]

Hi all!

Has anyone been flashed even though the light was green?

Last night I was travelling on the Cumberland rd, Canley Vale area heading towards Liverpool. I was at the St Johns rd. intersection, the light just turned green, and a flash or what a believe to be a flash. I was lead to believe that the flashes were gone and that the new cameras didn't need to flash to avoid distracting oncoming drivers..?

In more detail for those playing at home..
For those who know the intersection I'm talking about, Cumberland and St Johns rd. Intersection has 4 lanes, the far left lane is short dedicated for turning left, but it isn't a compulsary left turn - it goes on for another 50-60metres until it ends after the intersection... Then you have the inside and outside lane for main traffic going straight and the compulsay right turn lane to get onto St Johns rd.

Last night the inside and outside lane had about 6 cars on each lane, the left lane was empty, so I decided to take the left lane to avoid the traffic. Travelling at around 40ks and around 50m from the intersection the light turns green and the traffic begins to move. I decide to step on it to skip the traffic and to give me space to merge back it. As I pass the line I'm doing approx. 70-75ks then flash, the camera goes off.

Should I be expecting something in the mail?

I know it was a green light, all the other cars were moving, I even wentback to make sure it wasn't a compulsary left turn, I even took photos to prove it just in case. Funny thing I found though, was it seemed to have arrows that were removed and blackened with a yellow arrow with the word "remove" written..

I don't know what to think, or what to expect, all I know if I get something in the mail I'll have my letter ready to place into theirs and my suit ready to go to court.. Bloody revenue raisers. I was robbed of 3 points for doing 70ks in a 60 zone, funny thing is I'm still yet to drive pass the speedcamera that caught me that says 60 when they all say 70!

Anyways, thoughts?

Thanks!
