Raleigh, N.C. — People who run red lights and are caught on camera will pay $25 more per ticket under legislation passed by state lawmakers.
Fines for the violation will increase from $50 to $75. The increase is meant to help municipalities pay for the camera system while giving the majority of the proceeds from the fines to local school districts.

Absolutely, correct. But there are some who would rather blame the camera than the Cellphone they were talking into or the paper they were reading, etc.

If people would pay more attention there wouldn't be any wrecks at the cameras at all :P
