Frank Saladino is my new hero. Frank successfully challenged a red light camera ticket, which he got for making a legal right-on-red in New Hyde Park. I myself received just such a ticket for the same type of turn on Stewart Blvd. over the summer, and it cost me $65!!
No less than Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano took up Frank's case with the Dept'mt of Public Works, and as a result, the dept. is now installing a sign at the offending intersection alerting drivers that a full stop is required before a right-on-red. Presumably, similiar signs will be required at other locations if drivers are to be held accountable.
Too bad Frank didn't come along before I got tagged. I just didn't have the time or energy to be anybody's hero that day, not even my own.
