    A red light ticket may be a special, less serious, category of ticket. BTW, in my state, maybe other states as well, once you have a CDL license you cannot go to safety school to prevent points on your record, like those people with a passenger car license.

    TN later outlawed red light cameras, IIRC.

    In Arizona it's a moving violation like any other. There is a picture of the driver, so they know who it is.

    However, they must serve you a summons in person for your court date, within a certain amount of time (6 months, IIRC.)

    Ignore the ticket, dodge the summons server for 6 months, and you're off the hook.
    My guess is there's YouTube videos on the process for every state.

    I received one before and paid it. Doesn’t show on my MVR.

    Depends on the state .

    In my state a camera ticket is same as a parking ticket
    It’s to the car ,not the driver since the state has no way of proving who was driving the car .

    a lot of folks just ignore the letter
    And claim it works

    if you open the letter and go online and look up the case number , then they know you got the letter

    i have no idea if this works or not ..

    In many states camera violations never show up in your record. Pay the fine and move on I say, I would still mention it though, to the recruiter.

    Admittedly 20 years ago, but I paid the fine and nothing ever showed up on my driving record. As already mentioned, it was a fine to the car owner, not the driver (even though I was both).
