| | | found guilty of running FOUR consecutive red lights
What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NY
I was just found guilty of running FOUR consecutive red lights in NYC. My fine is $2000! If I don’t pay the balance shortly my license will be suspended. Is there a maximum number of red light violations that I can be liable for? I’m hoping to get just one dismissed after the fact – that would be a great relief. |

A: No. | I respectfully disagree.
The maximum amount of red light violations the OP can be cited/liable for is the number of red lights the citing officer writes on the ticket(s).
That maximum amount of lights may be one, if you ran only one red light, or 4 as in this case.

| | Muchas gracias. Having been involved in an accident with a red light runner in the past (on Christmas to boot!), I have even less than no sympathy, particularly where it's FOUR FREAKING LIGHTS at issue.
