I don't know which is worse

I would like to thank the police for making me a paranoid driver. Our city has gone red light camera crazy and now I'm suffering as a result. Whenever I see a red light camera and approach an intersection, I tense up and hope the damned light doesn't turn yellow as I get near. Why the fuss? $285 fine. I don't want an avoidable fine so when that light goes yellow I slam on the brakes, which of course puts me at risk of being rear-ended (especially the way people tailgate). It drives Darlene nuts - she wishes I would just go through unless I have lots of time to stop, but I can never be sure I'm not going to get nailed.
