View Full Version : If (hypothetically) I ran a red light....
.....what are the likely outcomes?
My *ahem* friend was in the middle of Southampton and took a left turn at a traffic light controlled junction when there was no left turn allowed. As he did so he got flashed by the camera which checks for people jumping the red light.
What can my *ahem* friend expect to get in way of fine and points?
And before anyone says anything my *ahem* friend is already beating himself up for being such a ****......I mean what the hell was he doing in Southampton in the first place????
I seem to remember my brother in law getting done for the same offence ( thats jumping a red light, not being caught in Southampton ) and i think he got £60 and three points ( though not 100% sure on the three points )
Sorry i`m not much help
:oops:

What a **** - sounds like you were caught by the anti-skate cameras that have just been installed :wink:

Which set of lights was it ?
You might be lucky - I think light jumpers normally take two pics - one as you cross on the red, and another just after to prove that you did jump it.
60 quid fine and 3 penalty points.. licence endorsed with a TS10 offence (slightly more severe than an SP30)

Which set of lights was it ? The left turn to take you to Saint Marys off the main Southampton road

Cheers Gnan.
Are you speaking from experience?
Bloody hell, i got something right - well you can tell your mate whats in store for him now.
You might not get done though i went through a set on red ( but only just on red :oops: ) but didnt get a NIP.
Good luck mate...........
no, i have no points but i thought i would get a traffic light offence once and investigated it with insurers to see what the hit may be, fortunately i heard nothing!
Good luck mate...........
I think I will need it. It was "well" red and it flashed twice. I think I will be getting my first endorsement.
Feck it!
investigated it with insurers to see what the hit may be
Can you remember what effect it was going to have on your premium?

Sorry, but that made me laugh. :lol:
Cheers!
it was about 80-90 quid a year more with BIKETEAM, but only if it's your first one!! it goes up significantly if you've had a couple..
Whoops!
Best of luck, hope they go easy on you.
No bending down to pick up the soap huh? :lol:
DOH !!!!
D'oh indeed! :roll:
DOH !!!!
D'oh indeed! :roll:
I shouldnt take the **** but... :laughat:
Truthfully hope you get away with it I mean I hope your friend gets away with it ;)
TS10, 3 points sounds about right. What were you doing in a red light area? :lol:

Your only hope is that the micro number plate on your bike was illegible (or that there was no film in the camera (and it wasn't one of those direct digital jobbies)).
Scoobs, you're an **** #-o

When my missus got a quote from ebike & then declared hers her premium went down, jump enough you may get a year free. :wink: :lol:

Scoobs, you're an @rse #-o Yes!
It wasn't so much a red light jump, but an illegal left turn which got me flashed. Which one should I own up to? ie, which one has the smaller penalty?

Actually, if you do get a ticket, appeal and say you didn't run a light, because technically, you didn't. The position of your bike may well help your case.
(Of course, you didn't realise that you couldn't turn right did you ?)

No officer! :lol:
what were you doing in southampton without visiting me?
btw this is the way we treat people from portsmouth that come to our fair city.

I WAS coming to visit you. But getting flashed (oo'er missus) upset me so much I decided to go home. I'm a sensitive soul.

Scoobs, if it's any consolation mate, my brother lives in Southampton.

Feck it!
Ahh! All those times you had fun chastising me over my mistakes... funny that isnt it - irony has a funny sense of humour. :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:
No seriously buddy, sorry to hear it. Nothing may yet come of it, so i would'nt worry too much about it until you hear about it.
Still, if its your first offence the insurance are unlikely to be too bothered with it - its not until you get above 6 points that it greatly affects your insurance.
Chin up buddy. 8)

Joe mate, I don't think I have ever made a single comment about any of your indiscretions. (as far as I can remember, which ain't very long TBH).
I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that I will be getting points.
Like I said before. Feck it. :wink: :lol:

Sorry bud, wasnt having a pop - just saw an opportunity to raise a cheap laugh at your expense. My apologies.
If you do get points 3 doesnt make that much difference, if at all any. Its not normally until you get above 6 that insurance companies start taking much attention of them.
Just spare a thought for me when i get my license back in a few years time. Ill have 3 speeding convictions resulting in 11 points, and a 6 week Short Disqualification Period, THEN my 3 year ban which ive just started. Can you imagine how much my insurance is going to be when i get it back????
Ive already started putting £100 a month aside for my premium. :cry: :oops: :cry:
My apologies.
No need mate. :wink:
14 days are up today - has the nice little postman delivered anything yet?
has he.. oh.. oh... I know someone who lost there lisence over one of these... but then they did have 11 points to start. :wink:

Nope!
I'm giving it till Monday till I consider myself to be in the clear.
I know a few people who have had NIPs recently and they said they came in 2 - 3 days. Fingers crossed I've retained my clean license. [-o<

sorry to bear bad news but!!1
if u get caught speeding in another county, i think they have 30 days to get the nip to you, i think, thats what i have been hearing, something about them processing it, sending it to your local speed...sorry safty camera patnership for them to process and send the fine, something like that,
i may be completly wrong just what ive been hearing lately,
