a civil penelty even if it wasn’t you driving the vehicle. all about money it is...
Yes, it is all about the money. We have a few of those red-light cameras around here. When I'm driving my older car, I make sure to stop on a yellow even if I have to dig into the anti-lock brakes. In my newer car, I make a more reasoned judgement - I don't want that car getting rear-ended. Don't care as much about the old one, though.
