Junction Enforcement Cameras

[hardcorehobbit]

Just a thought, since I saw a flash behind me as I went through an amber light earlier today. Does the camera know that it would have been dangerous for me to stop? IS it likely to have been someone behind me jumping the lights? I was on the other side of the crossroads at the time, so I'm not sure.

I really dont want to have 3 points, I'm only 19, and I couldnt afford the points.

If you went through on amber then you will be fine. I think it needs to flash twice anyway.

Although (in short) amber means stop, the offence is committed when the stop line is proceeded beyond with the lights showing red - and the camera does not become 'active' until the lights have been red for about 1 second.

I thought it was speed cameras that had to flash twice in order to how far you've gone in a set time. Traffic light camera's only need to prove you went through a red light.

Gatso RLCs take two photographs to prove that the vehicle proceeded beyond the stop line with the red light showing.

For instance, no offence is committed if a vehicle is stopped beyond the stop line when the lights change to red so long as the vehicle does not move forward until the lights change back to green.
