No, if you'd left enough time to stop safely it wouldn't have happened. Just accept you did wrong and pay up.
BTW, you're only allowed 6 points for two years after you pass, so prob should be more careful now.

it was on green, then it went to orange and it was not safe to stop so I carried on.

And the reason it wasn't safe to stop?

Why would you have needed to emergency stop?

Were you speeding?

I saw the post on Pepipoo and responded there. There is no red light camera at that junction, nearest is further up the A41 at the junction with Lode Lane. So I have no idea why the OP thought they were flashed.

I wish the OP was more attentive to the road than dodging any perceived punishment.

Maybe the car behind flashing them?

Although if the OP can't be sure of the junction what hope have we got?!

If the "boy racer " behind him had sports supension on his souped up renault, maybe the flash was their headlights as the car bounced down then up on braking hard?

I'm sure it was exactly that junction. Pretty sure.

I had a look here - http://www.wmsafetycameras.co.uk/regions_gmapi.php

and I couldn't seem to find any cameras of sort on that specific junction.

I just don't know what the flash was, maybe it was a car flashing me, but that flash was a flash that you just would not mistake for someone's headlights.

I just don't know... best to wait and see if anything arrives in the post. I hope not, I really do.

Yeah someone does really need to grow up but I think the question is who?

You can't blame taking someone to work for your errors in driving. If you're too throttle happy then thats your problem isn't it. You need to learn to calm it down a bit. You also could have said NO!

You were taught to anticipate things like red lights in your driving lessons. If you're going to ignore that and throw it out of the window then you're not going to last long on the roads - either by way of penalty points or an accident. Will that be the fault of your driving instructor?

I gave you the benefit of the doubt in my first post but after seeing the way you blame your neighbour for your driving..:o

I got 3 points for going through some lights on the verge of orange / red during my first year driving. An officer who was sat at the alternate lights looking for an old man for a care home saw me. At the time I was gutted

It kicked me up the !!! I paid for extra insurance for a few years, but whenever I approach lights now I am *always* expecting them to change and will off the gas ever so slightly and be ready to stop.

I am now a better driver for it and am much more cautious.

So take it as a lesson, learn from it and expect the worse. A slight hike in your insurance and a few points in reality is just a few hundred pounds... Certainly not the end of the world.

Good luck, I hope you don't get a ticket.
