Front tyre over the stop line in front of red light camera?
Discussion
Hello,
On the a37 hengrove lane junction in bristol there is a red light camera, i executed some amazingly poor judgement and went for an amber which was much too far away, i realized i wasn't going to make it so i applied the anchors fairly hard (not emergency braking just hard. I wound up with my nose just across the line coming to a stop about 0.5 - 1 seconds after the light turned to red, watching back the dashcam footage i definately went over on red, not by much at all but still definately over, does this sound like i'll receive a notice about it or is there a chance the camera may not have detected it.
Thanks,
Zdos123.

This shows my lapse in judgement, i think i probably subconsiously tried to follow the mini turning left.

I don’t think a camera would pick that up, but police observing would. At worst they would only likely have a word. To others observing, it just looks a bit t
ttish, but t
ttishness does provoke dash cam posting.
It was a severe lapse in judgement, i'm usually overly cautious with traffic lights, pretty much the instant it's amber it's stop but this time apparently it didn't click properly.

Yup i have no idea how sensitive the cameras are, it's obviously not an agregious problem as i put no-one at risk (unless there is a car behind me, which there wasn't), i'm still in my first two years of driving i really can't afford any penalty points, just a sanity check mostly.bigandclever said:

Well I wish you luck anyway.
I was on the A3(M) on the 6th and wondered why everyone was travelling so slowly, and then I saw the camera van parked in the layby.

Thankfully I could move from behind the sofa this week!
