Red Light And Speed Cameras

Passing a red light and speed camera is a very complex task. I consider myself an above average driver, i only had two accidents of my fault in 31 years and in both cases i hit poles in parking lots and now have big difficulties passing one of those. I mean, red light is one, speed is another but both, it gets hairy.

You have to look for traffic, speed, direction and pedestrians in the same time. But what if the intersection is in a slope and your speed may increase after 100 yards after you get your foot from all pedals to concentrate at lights, traffic and direction?

I long maintained that in Oregon automated tickets are not legal. Mine in the past came in mail from out of state with the signature printed which means one single officer issued all the tickets at all the intersection within that jurisdiction. A stop has not been made and no officer was present. But that officer did not even see the tickets because they were printed in other state (Nevada).

Tonight i had this idea and put the visor on to see if it helps with blinding lights from the opposite. Or was on since the last parking lot i left the car unattended.

I did not encounter any light for about 80 miles. In the meantime it got dark and i the visor was good with the blinding lights from the opposite.

Trouble is i could not see traffic lights except from a distance which was maybe 100 yards from intersections. But i think in intersections with two lights, i could see at least one. I will try and verify tomorrow or even tonight.

I even commented in the car, i told Angela i think it works, all i have to see is the car in front of me.

When i got at the traffic camera in Sherwood, i saw it was green from a distance. There is one little problem there, they made a bridge that appears in the visual field behind the cameras and that bridge has ever changing colors, interfering with signals given by the light to the drivers.

Then i saw a flash. Angela confirmed the light was green, which i saw myself seconds before intersection. I had a little above 50 when i entered the intersection, Angela yelled and hit the brakes, had exactly 45 or speed limit when i crossed the second crosswalk. At least one more car came after me and did not trigger any.

I don't know what triggered that flash, i took a quick look around and saw no one moving. But could have been a guy speeding in the opposite (but it would have been two flashes or even a guy who crossed a line and wasn't moving). Or it malfunctioned. Ori it was remote controlled from Nevada or by a hacker over the internet trying to prove i could not see the lights. Or by George or Well from behind the grave on this end of October.

Would not be the first time when something or someone intentionally triggered a flash just to take a picture of me. One time it was in front o City Hall in Beaverton, in the day of the release of Gangnam Style when i had my hands full of sticky foam crossed on the wheel and was driving to my then Korean mechanic at Lucky Autobody in Beaverton.

Thing is they got now a picture with the visor on my upper side of the face and they cold try and prove i was driving without possibility of seeing traffic lights. Even if only for illicit viewers over the web.

Yes i am overconfident and changed my driving patterns due to the fact that i know that all other vehicles surrounding me everywhere i go are for show and all i have to take care of is to look in the mirror and accelerate when they get closer (and i did that tonight for most part of the drive) and not to hit the guy in front of me when they stopped suddenly which tonight, for a long time was one with a dealership LPN "DAY 1".

I am currently arguing with Angela and i was saying that overall this was the worst "driving while been bullied" drive of my entire life and she says no, because she does not see what i see in the rear mirror. But for that there are now laws or law enforcement to enforce them or ever read what i write here for years.

And BTW tomorrow i will physically disconnect the satellite or whatever Sirius link this car has and i did not subscribe to with its own GPS and voice command and stuff (with a possibility of being hacked). I was for for a long time people can here somewhere what i talk in the car.

And BTW, the yellow truck with the inscription SEATTLE EMPIRE on driver side is in the other spot with one wheel in ours and there is so much smoke you cannot breathe outside.

Yesterday i spent last half of day in the room and it was one of the worst days of my life and later i discovered the cause. On the north side of the hotel was a cocking smoke similar to the one outside right now and probably was making its way in the hotel from under entrance door.

I went and drove a little at the first intersection to see if i could see the lights. It all depends on the position of the visor, but i don't think it was low enough to have missed it. Though i remember a car going in the opposite that was stopped. But could have been on yellow.

I remember the previous light in Newberg was red though i had green arrow for right turn and i looked by the visor. But it was so bright in the night.

This bridge at night shines in ever changing rainbow colors, confusing drivers about the color of the traffic lights, like the rainbow serpent. I will try and take a video one of these nights. Nevermind.

Sherwood, Serpent. BTW can you see how strong they shine he lights from cars coming from opposite? This is what i experience at night all the time, but imagine on a narrow, two lanes hwy in complete dark.

Wait a minute could this be a trick from the part of city of Sherwood so people at night get confused or can not see the color of traffic lights? to make more money tolling a State highway?

9:55 A rather large amount of leaves have fallen over the weekend and it rained and now it all smells like mold. Got to be a starter somewhere, usually a water of cup with water, leaking on the redwood wet mulch. And even if i find it, it will not be over until morning.

10:17 A number of 7/8 inch cylinders from juice or juice concentrate, one beer can, perforated, not open, a chocolate wrapper, a large plastic bag, a wet round pokemon (because i just wrote about) the size of a pillow with some white stuff plucked from it on the ground, a jacket and some small shoes in a plastic bag, all wet, a 30 pound box with peanuts in the rain by the dumpster, etc..

One Mexican guy with a white car with LP QRW (like from Orwell i just wrote about, in all LPN i see the O or D nowadays is replace with Q) came threatening towards me while maneuvering to park rear first while i was throwing those in the garbage and just put out my own headlight, etc..
