Accidentally ran a red light
Watch
Announcements
I accidentally ran a red light while driving, as it was dark so I didn’t see the big puddle just before the lights, causing a big splash and me not seeing that the light was red. As I went over the crossing it changed to orange then green. The light only had one of those small black monitoring cameras on it and there was no flash or police around. Do you think I will get away with it? I can’t afford to get any more points as I already have 9 for accidentally speeding (don’t ask) 🤦🏼*♀️

Do you think I will get caught or will I be okay as it’s not a proper camera that’s on there?

You "accidentally" must have got your driving licence too.

Very funny. It was so rainy and dark I didn’t see the puddle which splashed so I didn’t see the light. Complete accident.

Accidentally speeding... That's a new one.
As for the accidental RLJ, you're safe.
One more traffic offence like that and that's your licence gone. Either take the hint to stop driving or take extra care.
How much is your insurance and what's your age? Just curious.

I think he was referring to your three times speeding "accidentally" prior to this. If getting points didn't teach you a lesson, perhaps it would be safer for everyone if you weren't driving?

I drive very sensibly and have a black box to prove it. My insurance isn’t too expensive really.
Do you really think I’m safe?

God... they sting youngsters terribly. I drive a French tank in a deprived area but gladly... the local cabbies taught me. Assertive but defensive... always. Needs to become you... an extension of your body.

I just wasn’t aware that new speed cameras had been installed

I just wasn’t aware that new speed cameras had been installed and was trying to look where I was going as I was lost and was driving at the same speed as other traffic around me so yes it was my fault but I wasn’t intentionally speeding.

And yes, what you've described and pointed out is a proximity sensor.

You do realise that the speed limit is set by speed signs, not speed cameras, right?

You, as a driver, have a responsibility to make sure you're not speeding at any time - regardless to if there is a speed camera present or not.

Thankyou for your help, my mind is put at ease

Yes definitely and I am much more aware of limits now and have an app that tells me.

Waze is a good app for it, if you haven't got that already.
