Speeding

running a red light question?

Ok, this is really bad. i am 14 years old and it was saturday morning about 3 o’clock am me and my friends took my moms car for a drive. man, i really didn’t want to but peer pressure. anyways i accidentally ran a red light and i there are cameras in the intersection. we didn’t see a flash and i might have been speeding. this is in Maryland, does anyone know if i will get a ticket and how long will it take to get it? also would i be fined for being out past my curfew, driving underage, speeding, running a red light all at 14 too? i know this is really bad and i am really scared. i will never do like anything bad every again i pray to god i don’t get a ticket.
im 14 and 10 months we get our permit 15 and 9 months license 16
i was the one driving

Well, I do live in MD, so I understand the laws around this state. Its similar to that of DC. If you see a flash then you were caught. Chances are if you didn’t see a flash then you might have escaped, but that isn’t always true. Some cameras do not flash, but they still take a picture of your back license plate. If you know for a fact that you ran a red light and the camera was in that particular intersection then you might end up with a ticket. As far as your other questions, you would be fined along with possible jail time if you were pulled over by the cops. You said you are 14 and 10 months. First of all, you shouldn’t have been driving without a license. That within itself could mean possible jail time. If you were stopped by the police, they would have taken all of you into the police station and alerted your parents of what happened. But the fact is you weren’t stopped so you did get away with it. But you need to learn a lesson from this. Don’t speed, and get a license at the proper time. Also fines do vary when it comes to running red lights. They range from $70 – $200, depending on where you live.
