Traffic signal concern:
I might have gone through a red light just after the second signal near the Sainsbury’s car park, likely due to the icy conditions. I’m a bit worried about getting a ticket for it.
How strict is speed enforcement in this area? Do I have a chance of avoiding a penalty this time?
Thanks!
It’s understandable to be concerned about crossing a red light, especially in slippery conditions. Traffic enforcement can vary depending on location, but in many places, red light cameras are quite strict and do not take weather conditions into account. If you crossed the light by only a fraction of a second, there’s a chance you might not receive a ticket, but it really depends on the regulations in your area and whether vehicles recorded by cameras have a brief grace period.
If you’re worried, it might be worth checking if there are any local resources or traffic ticket forums where you can get more insight on how strict enforcement is in your area. Additionally, you could look into the possibility of contesting a ticket if one comes through, especially citing the icy conditions as a contributing factor. Drive safely!
