Where was the camera mate (I live near Preston)

Do you know how long it was red for before you went through it?

If it was face on your laughing, no registration plate! If it was to the rear, i hope they didnt catch you.

Hi

There is a delay between the lights going red and the camera activating. However it is a fairly short delay these days. You best hope is that it was either out of film or not loaded.

All the best

If it was 2-3 seconds you should be ok, they are usually set at 5 seconds plus.

5 seconds sounds like an awfully long amount of time for a delay.

[Whosthedaddy]

I've gone through a couple of amber / red lights by accident and then realised that there has been a camera present, never got ticket

Either the camera was not working, a decoy or shot through before the camera was 'armed and ready'.

Bad luck if you get a ticket, the sun does make traffic lights difficult to see sometimes

Probably on the turn, or red when crossed the line

Hi

Think when they first started using these cameras it was a long delay like 5 seconds. It has been reported that the delay has been reduced. From memory something like 1~2 seconds now.

All the best

I hate those things ,

even though on principle they are a so so proposition , why? , because what happens is I go through on green then some tit decides to turn left or right takes his time over it and the lights change to yellow and I'm right in the middle of a junction.(whats the legal situation on this my instructor once said once you have crossed the white line the traffic light no longer applies to you , but I can't remember if this was to do with turning or going straight through).

Undecided if moving = ticket
or not moving = crushed like a bug

Also the yellow on the traffic light sequence seems to have gotten shorter , that said on my main routes even on green I slow down for them. My dad was surprised and skidded his car earlier today the sequence change was so fast (Bolton , near the Esso petrol station on the road parrallel to Chadwich street).

If it was forward facing relax... just don't do it again as going through red lights is VERY dangerous. No one looks before crossing a junction in which the opposing/adjacent traffic is stopped.
