"you can proceed through a yellow light as long as you complete before the light turns red"
Unfortunately, human skill in predicting multiple variables, (time left on the yellow, distance needed to clear the intersection, speed of other cars in front of you) takes time to develop. This skill is often complicated by other factors, like weather, the physical state of the driver, number of distractions, etc. When municipalities monitor human drivers with "perfect" computerized cameras, the human driver will, on average, fail the test. Drivers who would normally drive safely will overcompensate to remain within the limits of the camera system. Drivers who would normally drive recklessly will further endanger the safety of others through rear-end collisions; they will assume that other drivers share in their degree of skill in driving through yellow lights.
Answer: Hire human observers (police) to catch lawbreakers.
There are those who run a red light because they have poor skill and there are those who run a red light because they are lawless. Both receive the same penalty, only, the latter is much more of a risk to other drivers.

Poor inattentive driving causes collisions, not traffic cameras. YOU may proceed through a yellow light as long as you complete before the light turns red.

definite, it could reason engine injury. specially via impact of the collision twisting the physique and physique of the vehicle, you would be able to now think of it does yet in a collision all the impact has to flow someplace, and fairly some the time injury impacts the drivetrain aspects of the motor vehicle via weight of the engine and transmission the moving of the motor vehicle areas for the period of a collision will ruin seals, bearings, and specifically circumstances watching the impact can easily jam the transmission and/or engine. watching the fluid it is leaking it must be from a broken oil or transmission cooler line, a loose or broken oil filter out and/or housing. Get the motor vehicle appeared at with the help of an outstanding mechanic.

Even if they did, it would be worth having quite a few more rear end collisions to cut down on t-bones caused by people running lights.

It is both unattentive drivers and people following too closely.
It is quite legal to go through a yellow light. It takes an attentive driver to know if he/she is too close to be able to safely stop.

Traffic cameras may be part of it but it certainly stems from the abilty and alertness of the driver. People often blame techonolgy, Don't blame blame technology if you fail to pay attention.

No, stupid drivers cause collisions. Pay attention, and slow down when you see a yellow light.

i like shooting the lens with a pellet gun, they break and usually shater on the second shot. then it takes the city 2 months to fix it again. i tried tape and the workers peeled it off and cleaned it 2 or 3 days later and i`d rather shoot it than paint it.
