ive always been wary of these. I assume if it changes red once you are past the line its fine. if not you get done or can you get caught on amber too?

They can only fit 8 pictures on a film and they haven't invented digital red light cameras yet.

Yes they have. We have them in Bristol. They are the tall Monitron Speedcurb ones that also double as red light cameras.

its 6 to one and half a dozen the other stopping at amber lights, i had someone run straight into the back of me when i stopped as the light changed to amber, admittedly his insurance paid out and sorted everything out but still didnt change the fact that the back of my car was stuffed!

not all sets of lights have them cameras do they? I was half asleep the other day, and it was a crossroads set of lights, me engrossed in watching the lights for the other set of traffic & decided to set of as they hit amber giving a 2 sec delay on lights for my set of traffic
Its my own fault really, I use the same road so often I just know as it turns amber its just about to turn green my side.
Mind u, I didnt see any flash!
anyways, soz to hear you got flashed! hope nothing comes of it!

14 days with 1 or 2 days postage allowance.
Anything over 17 days and you'll be ok.
