闯红灯的罚单?

My hu*****and and I passed one photo enforced intersection today.

When we passed the intersection, it was still yellow light and we were following the car in the front of us. Passing the intersection, my hu*****and told me he felt something flashed (a picture being taken?).

We are in California, and we never had tickets before.

Questions are
1. if there was a picture taken, will we for sure get a ticket?
2. if getting a ticket, how soon will we be informed?
3. what will be the best solution for the ticket? Should we pay the penalty directly, or shall we go to the court?
4. Will the ticket effect driving records, background for future employment, etc.? Will car insurance increase because of it?

Thank you very much for your suggestions and advice in advance!

• 我也不明白啊！在加州，闯红灯绝对是要留记录的，罚款至少$200,，可能$300. -dajia007- ♂ (96 bytes) () 01/18/2009 postreply 07:29:27
