I know, I was worried about being late though so wasn't being sensible.

It's almost been 2 weeks now so I'm just praying I can reach the weekend without anything in the post. This has put the sts right up me so my lesson has been learnt anyway. Fingers crossed.
5 weeks ago today, I got knocked off my motorbike by someone jumping a red light who wanted to save 30 seconds. I can guarantee that my first 2 weeks after the incident were significantly more agonising than the 2 weeks you'll have to wait.

We have these in Cardiff - just replaced a speeding cam GATSO on the A470 southbound, Manor Way. I think the newfangled ones (by the green box in the pic) also police THE most pathetic and pointless shortest bit of Bus Lane ever that cost hundreds of thousands to install as they moved the central reservation a foot! https://goo.gl/maps/sfiqSDhQHgSjZe3X9

It is quite clear that amber means stop, so I have no idea how people manage to go through on red; but I see numerous examples of this EVERY day on my commute to work.
I don’t understand why people rant on about wanting new laws against hands-free mobile phones etc. etc. when the absolute basics of safe driving are being ignored to an increasing extent.

I hesitated and slowed down thinking it was a speed camera, would've comfortably got through on amber if not
Just a thing of beauty! I think you should get a chance to try that in court and let us know how it goes!

Plenty of money available for all these cameras everywhere to obtain a higher rate of 'compliance'. But no money for hospitals and nurse. I despaire.
In England the NHS spend is £139,000,000,000.

What you should despair of is your poor grasp of numbers.
