gpsy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I was driving up Hanover Way about an hour ago in the left hand lane. I stopped at a red light, a car pulled up next to me in the right hand lane. When the light turned green we both set off normally, but the traffic light camera behind us flashed twice! I am not sure why it did this, the lights were green and we'd been sat waiting for the red light to change. There was a car behind me, if this or the driver to my right was anyone on here please PM me as I am concerned that I may receive a ticket despite the light being green. There was also a man on the left hand pavement with his arm in the air for some reason. If this is you, please PM me. Anyone got any experience of this? I suspect there was a malfunction of some sort and am hoping this will be realise as it would be unfair to punish me for nothing, however I am obviously concerned. Do the photos show what colour the lights were? I am hoping so, but it's going to be a horrible 2 weeks now waiting to see if anything appears in the post. If anyone can advise what I should do or if they've seen this sort of thing before please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khizman Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 if it does, ask to see the photo, the camera takes a photo of the traffic light and the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpsy Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks, so if it shows the light then it will show it to be green. I presume then that when the camera is emptied and someone sees that photo they'll disgard it, but if it does come through I'll request the photo. If I'd gone through a red I'd hold my hands up and take the punishment for my crime, but I don't want to be unfairly punished for something I've not done.

Unregistered Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Fear not - the photo will prove guilt or innocence. The pic will have your car, the white line and the traffic lights in the same shot. It also prints the time, date and speed on the photo. And the quality of those digital photos are quite spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorSHarp Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 If you know you went through on a full green then you have nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dongle Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 i have seen this happen before on queens road,did you or the car by the side of you edge forward over the line whilst the lights were at red? if so then it will think you have gone through the lights on red but wont flash until you go over the second sensor in the road which you would have done when the lights are on green.
