I think I've made myself £60 poorer and my first ever 3 points tonight. 1/2 mile from my house, in no real hurry in the cage, set of traffic lights with a camera on them (which I've been familiar with for years) see the lights the other way go amber so changed lane rolled up to lights almost stop my lights go Red & Amber and I roll though... FLASH 'oh ****' I think but don't do anything FLASH 'bollox if I'd stamped on the brakes maybe they'd have let me off' too late by then. Stupid, silly, dumb lots of other words. I just feel gutted. Spotless record (in terms of points) for first ten years of driving now this. I think that at 28 (by time of renewal) and with hopefully only those 3 points the hit on my insurance won't be too bad but grrrh I'm annoyed and knotted in the stomach and stuff.
