With camera violations you can't tell who was driving since an officer wasn't there to see your driver's license.
Yeah, I've heard a similar thing--I think they rotate the cameras between locations here. While I was in the intersection I caught a flash in my rear-view mirror and then another one a split second later. I don't know if it was me or another car(s) that got nailed with the first flash, as it took me a couple of seconds to realize that it was a red light camera.

Just to be clear, I don't have a problem paying the fine if I indeed run a red light (I'm not sure, as it was a pretty close call), I'm just wondering how the rental company will handle it if I did get caught. I'll post an update if anything transpires.
