Ran a red light?

newdriver1

I was on lode lane. On that link im on the road that cuts through it travelling from right to left

I have removed all the . and replaced with dot but still not working.

I thought maybe that the driver behind was day dreaming but they had been up my A##E all the way for past mile. Also car behind had him stayed stationary too despite 2 lanes so could have pulled out.

No flash but was at 10 am ish so pretty light out.

I live 30 miles from there and have never been there before so was trying to look out for signs where hospital was saw lights change and just went. As I crossed the junction I noticed car was still stationary after about 5 seconds so kept an eye out and slowed down they still hadnt moved after 10 then I noticed them pull away and bam hes tailgaiting me again

I think I did read through to next lights

As above maybe the OP spotted the lights for the crossing instead? Hard to say because they mentioned a blue car in the middle lane and streetviews doesnt seem to show that?

Which direction were they travelling?

There is a dodgy set of lights near Tesco's. Crossing point less than 100 yards from the main lights. Drivers often fail to stop at the crossing. Their view is fixed on the the main set of lights ahead.

Seen plenty of near misses.

You dont need to replace . with dot. Just dont put the http or www start with google...

Or remove the google bit completely.

So from my earlier link you're approx where that blue car is crossing from left to right? It's difficult to get a street view from that side but if the traffic lights you saw where the ones with the right-hand filter as seen here:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.4209413,-1.7763417,3a,81.2y,180.99h,73.46t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sMA_9Tf8wJMwxZK3nG8kiaA!2e0?hl=en

and here:

Your link is the overhead view of the area not a streetview.

Yup those were the lights. From your first link in thread I would be the grey car on right next to the truck so if you do a 180 im waiting at the stop line in middle lane. There is a car behind me and a car in the left hand lane. I see those lights change and pull off. None of the other cars move. I keep an eyeout eventually the car behing me is back tailgating and the car in left hand lane has filtered behind that car

Sounds to me you just beat them off the lights.
