EastBoy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I just got a letter today saying I was caught "Contravening Red Traffic Light". The letter is a Notice of Intended Prosecution and it has a form at the back to fill up on who was driving. Basically what penaltys am I looking at? I'm shitting it now still. (I've had my license for a year and a half.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Jumped a red light the other day whilst semi arguong with my ex. There are no cameras but tere are bus lanes which makes me think there are cameras, as bus lanes get watched. Nothing flashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlon Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Points are valid for 3 years, but stay on your license for 4.You have to tell your insurance company, if you dont and make a claim, your insurance is invalid if they find out. Insurance companies don't care about points either, they make allowances for the fact that most people are going to get them. write back to them and tell them that you were driving but you were beign followed by soemone who has threatened you before, tyhats what one of my bosy said and he got offIm surprised that worked.

48970 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Argh thats some fcckery. I used to think them little cameras at the top traffic lights are anything... cos I skipped bare lgihts in the past.LESSON LEARNT.Its 3 points and a fine.The cameras on top of the actual lights box arent the ones that clocked you, the red light cameras are seperate boxes on the pavement that look like mini grey gatso's.If you dont tell your insurance company you will prob get away with it (and pay a lesser premium) but if you try claim 4 anythin they WILL find out, not pay you, and it will go against you when you try to get insurance again. points last 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened on the A406 aswell.Anyway 3 points shouldn't hurt my insurance too much (i hope). Some people have told me their insurance didn't even go up with the 3 points.
