Adrian_boch Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ok so I was going to town and I seen the lights not working so I stopped and wait for like 3 seconds next I thought they are not working so I looked both ways and went. there was a van behind me when I went he went like 5 seconds after me because I saw it in the mirror. Next this was next to staples shop to I went in got what I wanted when I was coming back in the shops window I saw the lights and it was the red light only not working. Now am worrying my head off as I am on provisional license and max you can get 6 points on them and I need to drive to college. By the way I was on a scooter so I don't know if they can see my plates:confused: Do you think there could be any police cameras?? I know there was a camera for parking on a pole. go on google maps and type staples in luton and its the first one on castle street Also to mention I even emailed local police asking if there are cameras there stupid me lool and they send this ''Thank you for your email, if you do get a fine come through the post you will need to dispute this at the time'' what does this mean??? please help me! :help::help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barleycorn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Firstly, you need to be waiting longer than three seconds to ascertain whether or not traffic lights are not working properly - for the very reason you highlighted. Secondly, traffic light cameras flash you from behind so, yes, if present they may have caught you. The simplest way for you to determine whether you were caught (besides waiting for a present on your door mat) is to revisit the location and look for the camera. jb ETA: or you can look on this map for the camera http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/speed-camera-database.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do get a letter you should depute it and use the email you sent to the police to support your claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The chances there was a camera on the lights is very, very, very slim. Stop worrying about it, you won't get a fine. There are hundreds of thousands of traffic lights in England and only a handful of red light cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a CBT as he is on a provisional licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have to question WHAT were you driving? as I noticed you said you only have a PROVISIONAL... If it was a car, did you have L plates, and was there also a responsible driver in the car? If it was a bike, you need a CBT, and you also need to have L plates on that also, but I also think you need to read up on the highway code etc! You should know about waiting when you think the lights are faulty if you have passed your CBT, if you haven't, then you shouldn't be on the roads without it... Either way, I don't think you would stand a chance if you get a fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
