Will my dad pay some kind of ticket for crossing a red light?

Question

The light was flashing red, but the small area, where we took the wrong exit, had no other people in it. I don't think the light was going to change, and we wanted to get back on the right road (which was straight ahead), so we just passed by it. Then, we heard some kind of ringing, like a bell...and my dad just decided to ignore it, considering that there was nothing to do about it, and got back on the right road. Anyway, the light was placed near this square, brown thing people are inside, and they usually charge you to pass (but no one was inside)...so what the h**l happened???

Answer 1

that's weird. my completely innocent grandmother did that but she didn't get in any trouble or get a ticket.
