Tx for the replies.
Surprise surprise..customer services didn't call back as they promised they would:mad: And..(drumrooollll) neither did the instructor :mad::mad:
Hubby is fuming after seeing the pic once he got home on friday night.He feels a bit stupid tbh because if it was him it really was a blatant red light BUT still!!how can the instructor have been so unaware?There was traffic waiting to turn across DHs path on a green ..so bloomin dangerous:eek:
I have no idea how much legal advice would cost.It's a case of weighing it up against the hike in insurance costs/fine I guess.
So still undecided as to how to proceed and not being helped by the lack of co-operation from both the instructor and the school itself.

Sounds like he's not cut out for driving.

Who else is this thread about?

I would call them as a matter of urgency (the fine office) and ask clarification if the time is GMT or BST, one possibly makes hubby guilty, one makes him innocent, he will have booked his lessons in BST .
Learner drivers are often racked with wanting to do the right thing, earn some brownie points, however if he gets this wrong the implications could be very severe from a financial point of view for the next 6 years.
He needs to weigh up the "just want it over and done with" with the increased insurance, if any at all, over the next 6 years.
that is not exactly what I call over and done is it.
For all he knows it could be the driving instructor and his fluzy on the side 1 hour earlier, hence why he was late.
All I can suggest is he grows a pair quickly and wakes up a bit and set to putting some fight in to this.

A crappy AA driving instructor.

What a ridiculous thing to say.He's not cut out to drive because he's mad that he may get three points and a fine for going through a red light he's not even sure he went through..in a dual controlled car???

Whatever.I'm sure you'd be totally fine with it all if it was you in this position right?:mad:

Why do people keep suggesting he needs to get tough or grow a pair?He has been dealing with the instructor but literally cannot do anything at work and places are shut when he gets home so I've posted on here and called the AA.
You're right about the implications being for the next 6 years,it's a serious issue.Will get the time tomorrow from the ticket office to see,tx for that . x

Well you've seen the photo, what colour were the lights when he went through?

Well you don't know as you weren't there so trot off and ask him.

Don't see why he couldn't post himself.

If it was him.
As has been stated many times, it could have been the instructor or another pupil. At the moment, there is only the work of the instructor who is hardly unbiased.

There has been no denial. All along the OP has tried to blame the instructor. There clearly is no doubt as to who was driving.
