Hi

I ran a red light last wednesday, has the light showed amber I accelerated to try and get over the light but for a split second it was red as I went over.

better you improve your driving skils and understanmd that amber means stop unless it is dangerous to do so, just being an amber gambler means you lost you bet.

All you need is some evidence that you produced the documents so that if it does go to court you've got something to show that you've done all that is legally required thus avoiding any further action/costs. Did you go back to the station that was listed on the HO/RT1?

I went to the station which I said on the producer doccument, however they informed me that they can't deal with producers at that station so they sent me to the next nearest station. The only evidence I have is that I spoke to desk sergant Julie Leonard collar number 50994. I don't have any witnesses though.

That's strange I'd assume all stations that are listed on a producer should be able to administer it. I'd try again with the issueing station, after all that should be the police officer's home station.

in comparisson to breaking into peoples cars and stealing there belongings, i would say yes it is petty. Yet the police had no interest in even looking at my girlfriends car ater it was broken into.

All the members of my motorcycle club have got dead friends from car drivers running red lights. I am sure their deaths are more petty that your girlfriend's stolen lipstick. Perhap you would like to come to our annnual rally and explain that.

You aren't innocent chap, and that's by your own admission

I am a safe driver, I have never been involved in an accident

But seen loads in your rear view mirror.

To sum up, you are a bit thick, your girlfriends a bit thick, but it's Plod's fault.

Good luck with your studies, you are the future of Britain

Maybe the police should be looking for the criminal who broke into my girlfriends car last month, they didn't even visit her or look at her car after it was broken into, yet they have time to drive around pulling innocent people over for petty offences.

I don't believe I just read that:mad: You saw it was Amber and you accelarated to get through?:o And you call this a petty offence? Do you want the stats on people injured/killed by people going through Red lights? Still think it's a petty offence?

You certainly aren't innocent. You broke the rules of the road and sped up to make it through knowing it was a danger.

Some harsh comments. I take it everybody who has wrote negatively on here has never gone over the speed limit, or gone over on amber when u should have stopped. Get real. He without sin cast the first stone. Perhaps the poor bikers who met an unfortunate end were going slighltly over the speed limit themselves so don't beat me with a stick. I in fact was witness to a biker who got killed by a police man who pulled out on him. And yes I sped up to get over the lights from 2 MPH to 5MPH, I don't think that would kill anybody. Especiaally as the lights were on a gridlocked motorway island where nobody was driving over 5 MPH. So get off your high horses and stop preaching like you're something special. !!!!!!!!!!

I've been sitting here trying to think of ways you could sort this problem out as I know it can't be a nice position to be in, but having returned to this thread and reading that last post from you, I think you deserve the trouble you're having. You can't take being told you were in the wrong so you throw your toys out of the pram? Sort of pathetic. If you don't want to hear peoples opinions, don't post. It's really quite simple.

Perhaps you have then failed to notice the posts in which I was responding to to. Of course I was in the wrong, you do not go over a red light and you don't speed. If you do there is a chance that you may get caught. But do you sugeest that I let people insult me and insult my inteligence. I will of course accept criticism but I will not tollerate blatant insults and abuse, I am not "throwing my toys out of the pram" I am merely fighting my side of the corner in response to uneccasary insults.

I am sure you will notice at points in my thread that I have quite rightly accepted liability, I was guilty of running the red light and accept my 3 points and my £60 fine if they would let me settle it. The whole reason of the thread was to ask for advice on how to settle it without my producer.

I will not tollerate rude insults which are uncalled for.
