Hi All,

I had to go through an amber light at a crossing today as I didn't feel it safe to stop, another car was tail gating me. The road has a 30mph limit.
After crossing the two solid lines at the lights there is a huge yellow box. As I entered the yellow box to go straight the lights turned red, before i was out of the yellow box.

Is that a fine and points?

Just to clarify I believe i was past both sets of solid lines at the lights on amber.
The exit of the yellow box was clear.

Any advice would we much appreciated!
Cheers

Yeah you're right, probably stressing out about it too much, its not like i don't have enough on my mind anyway.

There is a dotted Pedestrian crossing after the last solid line at the lights. As the lights turned red, i can't be 100% sure the back of the car was out of the last dotted line (before the yellow box) of the Pedestrian crossing. I was worried there may be some kind of fine due because of that. I believe the front of the car was in the yellow box though when the light turned to red.

This happened in Bromley, on Tweedy Road (outside Bromley North Train station) if it helps anyone else.

Cheers for the reply
