I passed my test 2 weeks ago and was driving to hospital for a consultation I had been waiting for nearly 6 weeks for so I was a little distracted (still no excuse).
I waiting at the lights with 2 cars behind me. I see the lights flash amber and green and pull off. I look in my rear view mirror and see the cars still waiting at the stop line and not move for for atleast another 10/15 seconds. It happened here I have 2 questions.
1) I stopped at the line what are the second lights ahead relating to
2) The road to the left has a red light camera, would that of caught me. Thanks
Im just worried as for first 2 years if I get 6 points I will lose my license. All help appreciated.
Im on the carriageway where blue car is in middle lane and I was looking at lights past juction.
Edit tried to post maps link but new users cant. Its solihull bypass meets lode lane b91 postcode going towards solihull hospital. I assume that red light is for cars turning right?

If the light went green and you moved off, why do you think you jumped a red light?0

Maybe you've "read through" to the next set of lights in error, hence you saw the lights ahead change to proceed and moved off, but the other drivers waited for the correct lights you were actually at to change... Seen this a few times...ORIGINAL MORTGAGE AMOUNT £106,454.00 (Started Sept 2007)

I did that down at the entrance to Heathrow, I was watching a light that turned green and i went and it was a filter lane to the right of me that the green was for and it was solid green and not an green arrow
I was in a strange area and wary at the lights because i wasnt to sure where i was going, but i was lucky and never heard any comeback
is that the same sort of thing you have done?0 -
If my link is correct then the set of lights ahead look like they're for a pedestrian crossing, particularly as you said you saw flashing amber. I'm assuming you're where that silver Lupo is.0

Maybe the driver behind you was daydreaming. Or stalled0
