I think you're way over thinking and being way too worried about something that was not your fault really. I don't know if they caught you or not. Usually you'll get a flash behind you from the camera light when it goes off. But if it didn't, then it might not have caught you or wasn't being used. At any rate, you'll find out later on in the mail when the ticket or summons comes. Then just explain your story to your mom then. You may only get a few demerits and also if you take it down to court, you may be able to get the fine reduced and no demerits. So just don't stress until if and when you get a ticket.

You will get a hefty fine. I forgot how much they are as they keep increases on a yearly basis in Cali. I live in Sacramento. I think they are around 480 bucks. If it was indeed a red light street (not all have them) you were photographed along with the licnese plates and the car showing it going past the line and into traffic.
You won't lose your license. I would tell them though. Take your lecture and then be ready to pay the fine.
I’m glad you told your mom. That showed responsibility. Try to be more careful. The biggest problem with traffic violations isn’t the cost of the ticket but rather the raised auto insurance premiums. Every ticket stays on your record for 7 years and will make Your Car insurance extremely expensive for that length of time. If it happens too many times they’ll just cancel your insurance altogether and the state may revoke your license for a period of time. That happened to me when I was younger. 3 speeding tickets in a year. I haven’t had a single one since in 10 years of driving.
Tell your parents and explain everything to them, I'm sure they will understand. Things will be a lot easier if you just tell them upfront and don't wait for something to happen. Just calmly explain the situation and tell them you didn't mean to. Things will work out I'm sure of it
It wasn’t even on purpose and no one was hurt so just tell them it was an accident and if a ticket comes you’ll pay for it and you’ll start drinking more water to prevent future Charlie horses haha

Relax. You won't loose your licence. You may get a ticket in the mail if the camera was working and caught you (assume it's their car?)? You might want to just mention it (calmly) to them and just explain what happened. I don't know your parents but they'll probably appreciate the honesty. And if a ticket does come in the mail, they won't be surprised by it. But it shouldn't be a big deal unless your parents are extremely strict?
Hahaha.. I ain't even got a license n have taken my bike n car further, I'd wager.
It ain't no big deal. Rules protect against the worst of us, not the best. The very fact that you feel bad means no harm done. This time. Just try to remember you cannot become complacent behind the wheel. Complacency has killed more in our world than all other forces combined.It's a red light... No one was hurt or the world didn't blow up? You're fine, some people are aholes and do it intentionally so trust by accident you're fine
Go back and see if there is a camera, monitor mailbox of your parents : you can try not to tell them if there is a chance they never know. Before traffic light, always be ready to stop : put your foot in front of brake command, you will be faster to brake if necessary
I have to say I only read your title. But I think it should be good to tell parents stuff like that. It will be easier for them to help help and support you in all situations if you have that as a habit
If the camera caught your car going through a red light you may get a ticket all depends but your best to sit down and have a talk with your parents. Sorry you had to go through this situation.
If you get a red light camera ticket the registered owner gets the ticket but no points on license so it’s the price that sucks you have to pay, should get in 10 Days in the mail but just explain what happened and don’t worry so much about it
You should if you got a ticket, yeah. Just say it was an honest accident and a ticket may be coming, and that you're sorry you'll try to do better. It happens. Also, if you do get a ticket, you pay for it. I don't see how they could be upset.
Oh yeah Cali still has the intersection cameras on because they want to monitor everyone's life. You might get a ticket in the mail, pay it off, & don't go past red lights.
Don't worry, it wasn't your fault. Tell them what happened it'll be ok.
If your worrying about it this much you don't really have to tell them
If you used their car they are going to find out when they get the ticket in the mail so you might as well tell them
well if the camera got you. not much you can do about that, except. pay the ticket. but I think I would wait until you get it in the mail. if nothing shows up your in the clear. Just be more careful.
You'll get fined if the camera caught you. First ever fine is low. Next time be more careful.
