Red light - £60 fine 3 points 
 
On a roundabout, realised I was in the wrong lane, looked around to check I could move over, when I looked back I saw the red light but I was already over the line, there was a police car coming upto the roundabout   
 
Roundabout was light controlled on 2 exits, I didn't know till I'd gone through em

Producers I've had 3 I think, first one was for driving through a pedestrianised zone   
 
Should've been £30 fine, but the female fancied me   
 
1 was a random spot check, decided to joke about saying I'd come up as a disqualified driver   cock 
 
1 was for going onto a petrol station forecourt at 1am and the petrol station was closed. They thought I was planning on robbing it   Tried to get me for no seatbelt too cos I'd took it off why he was walking to the car, he must've known cos he shut up as soon as I said I'd just took it off. He soon shut up again when I told him I'd gone to the petrol station cos I was low on petrol, then showed him that the petrol light was on   but apparently they had no record of my insurance so give me a producer.
