What Can I Expect?
32 Answers
Please don't be shocked, but yesterday I went through a red light. Well, it was amber when I started to go through it, but it was a large junction and it changed to red as I was going through it.
The car on the inside lane to me stopped, but I carried on when really I could have stopped.
If there are cameras at that junction, am I going to be in trouble?

This is not copy/paste job, unfortunately its the voice of experience. A couple of months ago I overtook a cyclist through a very sleepy village and went over the 30mph limit . A camera van was in the pub carpark and I got zapped. I'm booked on a course in December online.

The police are legally required to serve the Notice of Intended Prosecution within 14 days of the offence - as NJ said this goes to the registered keeper.

Quite so, barry. Road Traffic Offenders' Act, Section 1. If AuntPG received the notice beyond 14 days she should have declined the course and fixed penalty and defended the matter in court. The difficulty she may have had is that the Notice is presumed served two working days after posting unless the contrary can be proved. If the prosecution can prove that it was posted in time, the defendant has to prove that service was not achieved in time.
