    Ok before i start i would like to say, i know what i did was wrong, i was in a stupid mood at the time so before you start saying "Its your fault, its you who give us a bad name" keep it to your self because i have already realised this.

    Basically i was giving my friend a lift home because the busses wernt running and i couldnt leave him there ( i got him a helmet ) and i was approaching this green light and then it turned amber and i sped up to get through it (it was 4 in the morning nobody was around) and i got through it just milliseconds after it turned red, then i see 2 flashes from a nearby camera.

    So basically i went through a red light, possibly speeding with a pillion.

    How fucked am i?

    basicly your fucked ...

    3 points for driving in accordance to your licence aka carrying passenger
    and 3 points for running the redlight ....

    but my mum went through a speed camera and it deffo flashed but she did not get a fine or anything so you betta get praying

    He maybe fucked it depends how it shows up on camera flash, if u can only see 1 person u may get away with it. and Roxyy boy 6 points and you dont get banned, your aloud 6 points and then 1 thing after then your banned as i know someone in this situation and found out from dvla its 6 points wen you first get full car/bike licence for first 2 years

    3 Points £60 i think. Its done by computer and they dont add offences on top of each other. Unlike speed cameras red light ones are controlled by the council i believe and there is no dummy ones.

    Not being funny but if you enjoy having a driving license you need to think about the consequences of shit a bit more mate. If it was a actual policeman at that junction you could easily be looking at a ban for one of the dumbest reasons tbh..

    i cant see you getting done for the pillion part, i cant imagine anyone will care, you will just get points for the red light jump. but i have seen these go off many times and not seen a fine for those who jumped them (im not one of them for reference)

    Are you sure it was a speed camera that flashed because i know some of them camera looking things on traffic lights reflect your headlights as you go through them but they actually dont do anything lol

    well all i remember is this, lights went amber, i pulled throttle back, remember seeing the red light out the corner of my eye and a flash out of the other corner, look behind and there's another flash. it was a new style camera so apparently the photo gets sent digitally.
