I went through a red traffic light and have had a notice of intended prosecution...what does this mean?

Question

I went through a red traffic light the other day, because I was stupid, it changed so quick on a fast road, and I thought it'd be safer to go through. I know it was stupid. What happens next? Will I get points and a fine?

Answer 1

Is there a number to call on the piece of paper?

If so call it, if not get on the phone to the nearest CAB and ask a professional for free.

Answer 2

prob 3 points and £30 fine

Answer 3

Yes you will be fined, usually £60 but you can go on a days training rather than have the points.

Answer 4

Yes I got done in almost the same circumstances in Seaforth by the Port of LIverpool. It cost me about £250 including costs plus 3 points.

This was about ten years ago. Thephoto did not give a clear view of the circumstances o only of the offence. You may and only may get away with it with an apology to the Chief Constable, but I would not waste time and effort pleading Not Guilty in Court it will just increase your fine      

Answer 5

if you are in the uk its 3 pts and £30/£60 fine.

Answer 6

ATS do not go from green to red there is an amber light before that, 3 points and a fine.

Answer 7

You can take a class (if you haven't had any other violations recently) to not get anything on your driving licenses, but you will get a fine.

Answer 8

I take it you were caught by a police officer. The NoIP is just that, notice to you that the police are considering prosecution.  Whether they do or not is another matter, you'll just have to wait.

Answer 9

Yes to both they will serve a fixed penalty notice next, you can pay up (best and cheapest option) or you can go to court and argue your case, you will lose and pay a bigger fine plus court cost.

Answer 10

points????? no its probably just a red light ticket, not sure where you are from but here in tx it cost 75 bucks
