20withascooby Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 but i didnt jump them they were red and amber just about to change green i was approaching the lights and knew they were going green so didnt see the point in stopping for like asecond while they turned green would i get a fine or points and a fine or hope it doesnt have a film in it Link to comment
stiggy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 That sounds abit unlucky If they do send you a picture it will show what phase the lights were on!! Link to comment
kip Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Look in the highway code book and it says Red = stop Red and Amber = get ready to move off Green = go so it sounds like you have a ticket on it's way to you m8 Link to comment
swifty1981 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 hopefully you will get away with it, if you dont i think you will get a fine and points Link to comment
tony_cousins Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 hopefully you will get away with it, if you dont i think you will get a fine and points 3 points and a fine mate I got one years back but i went to court arguing the fact that if i braked for the lights it would have been dangerous and i got away with a warning, i was driving a flat bed van with machinery on the back Think i was a lucky one though Link to comment

baser999 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) duno sumwhere on way home from southend near the mway I'd heard that the authorities in Essex were always a bit keen to clamp down on offenders so you might well get a ticket coming your way. That might have been the infamous 'Granby Triangle' where all errant motorists get caught Edited April 6, 2008 by BASER999 Link to comment
