You have a drivers license right?

Because by obtaining a drivers license, you are acknowledging that you know it is your responsibility to know the laws pertaining to the vehicles you drive and the roads you drive on.

You should have had to take a knowledge test as well, which comes from the drivers guide that you should have study.

Everyone is hard on you because this is such basic knowledge you should already know, and now everyone is worried about what other traffic laws you don't know and what risks your putting onto others because of your lack of knowledge and insurance.

I'd suggest re-studying the drivers guide if you really didn't know.

And looking through the traffic laws too.

The camera not going off probably doesn't help you, the cameras are not perfect and falsely trigger or fail to trigger all the time. Which is why the they are required to be reviewed before spending you a ticket. On the contrary, it probably would have been better for you if it did go off and you didn't run the red.

But always talk to a traffic lawyer anyways, having a clean record or at least not having something on your record recently is still probably your best defense.

>also there will be taxes you have to pay.. this is not included in the sale price. even if you put zero on the receipt the DOL will ask for money. this is paid by you and not the seller.

Get a "Declaration of Buyer and Seller Regarding Value of Use Vehicle Sold" document signed by buyer and seller as well.

This is the only place were the sale price actually matters.

Otherwise the licenses place will try and tax you on their value database, which was 10x the price I bought my last car for...
