  • You will just have to wait another week, as they have 14 days to write to you to ask who was driving.

    Provided you are the Registered Keeper of the vehicle concerned. If not then a little (or lot) longer.

    And as always, if you were caught by a camera, then you were caught by a camera.
    No amount of worrying about it, or making excuses will make a blind bit of difference.

    If it was amber you will be alright. Not sure many would have a license left if you aren't.

    The cameras are set up to catch people going through when its already red.

    Why hassle the OP for going through amber just on what they've written? We don't know if it changed to amber just as they approached and couldn't stop safely in time or, they saw it change to amber and sped up to make sure they got through before it went red.

    The fact that the OP is worried about being "caught" strongly implies that going through on amber was a choice on their part. If it had changed to amber a split second before they crossed the line they wouldn't be worried because it would be totally unreasonable to prosecute under those circumstances and everyone knows that.

    Just look at the subject line.
