Daly City photo photo enforced traffic tickets are not always real
If you ever get a notice in the mail that you ran a red light, make sure that it is a real ticket and read the Highway Robbery website immediately. It could save you hundreds of dollars.
About a month ago I receive a letter in the mail addressed from the Daly City Police Department via Arizona. That was odd. In the envelope I found what appeared to be a ticket and some photos of my car going through a red light. The letter demanded that I fill out a form with some specific information:
(A) Was I the driver?
(B) If I was not the driver who was it? Fill in the driver’s license information and address.
(C) in the fine print it says “DO NOT CONTACT THE COURT” regarding this ticket.
Why did it say not to contact the court? Because it was a “snitch” ticket. The Daly CIty Police Department and Redflex Traffic Systems of Arizona sent me a menacing looking FAKE TICKET to trick me into giving up my wife’s contact information so that they could send her a real ticket. A real ticket that will cost $446 AND 1 point on her driver’s license in CA (or possibly 3 points in Michigan because of state driving record reciprocity) AND consequently higher auto insurance premiums.
So, before you fill out any forms from the Police Department, make sure it is a REAL and GENUINE ticket. Learn how to identify real vs. snitch tickets and Fight red light camera tickets by visiting HighwayRobbery.net.
Chevrolet Equinox 2010 Prices Paid Out the door
The Chevrolet Equinox 2010 is selling like gangbusters. We went to check to take it for a test drive but the salesperson didn’t have any. That’s unfortunate because, in that empty wasteland of a dealership they the salesperson said 4 or 5 people would come to see it but Chevrolet didn’t allocate any to the area.
(Update 7/19/2010)
For the most part people are still paying almost MSRP. Demand for Chevrolet Equinox remains high for relatively low (well-constrained?) supply.
2LT 4-cylinder with most of the bells and whistles: heated seats, trailer hitch, programmable lift gate. $29,540 near Dayton, OH
1LT $23,400 with backup camera, moon roof, power seats, vehicle interface.
