Did you know the 100th anniversary of the electric traffic light was celebrated in 2014? The life-saving idea began in London in the 1860s, but it took another 40 years for it to be perfected by the Americans. Today we are all familiar with the concept of the traffic light and they have been a common feature on the British landscape for decades.
Nevertheless many drivers find themselves liable to offences associated with the device. If you are found guilty of running a red light offence you are liable to a fine of up to £1000 and 3 penalty points on your licence.

The Highway Code requires all drivers to stop behind the white line when the red light is illuminated. A motorist may only drive when given the green light and only then if it is safe to do so. A common misconception is that the amber signal allows drivers to proceed. It does not. When the amber light is flashing you must stop unless you have already passed the white stop line, or if your vehicle is so close to the line it would be unsafe to apply the breaks. You can read more about the little-known rules of the amber signal on this Confused.com about “amber gamblers”.
Nowadays many traffic lights are fitted with cameras which will record the details of vehicles who breach the rules of the road and run red lights. Offenders will be contacted about the offence in due course. Alternatively a policeman may witness the red light offence and choose to issue a fixed penalty notice directly to the driver.
Each offence comes with its own set of circumstances and a good motoring solicitor will be able to help if you feel you had just cause for committing such an offence. Perhaps you were forced to run the light to avoid a potential accident, or maybe you had to drive onwards to make way for an emergency vehicle. What if the traffic light had malfunctioned? There are so many possible situations so it is always best to take professional legal advice.
