Come back here when you have a PCN in your hand.
They have 28 days to serve a PCN from alleged contravention
date. Is the car yours and are you the V5C Registration
Certificate holder ? Any PCN will be sent to the registered
owner on the V5C.

Red Light Camera
DIR By: jack2025

---------------------------------------------------------
I've got a question about Red Light cameras, if one of you kind
experts could help.
I was driving on Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester turning right
onto Queen's Road. It's quite a complicated road layout and
there were no vehicles behind me.
In the image you can see where I was (behind the stop line)
where the emoji is, but facing the correct way ;)
[attach=1]
I thought the lights had turned green but I'm doubting myself
now.
I stopped in the middle whilst waiting for the oncoming traffic
(as shown in the image) to pass and then proceeded right into
the indicated lane when safe. But that got me thinking – I don't
think the road works like that and maybe, somehow, in the
glaring sunlight, the light wasn't green. ???
Now I'm worried. There's a red light camera there and I'm hoping
I've not committed an offence.
According to the Speed Camera UK website, this is the camera:
Speed Camera: Traffic Light Camera
Nearest Town/Village: Cheetham Hill
Road Name: Queens Road
Direction of enforcement: Westbound
Speed Limit: 30mph
Camera reference number: NWGM116
What does this mean in practice? From the Google Street View
image above, would that have captured me? Because the camera is
facing towards the junction and I doubt would even 'see' the
traffic lights I was at. But I've read online that some cameras
now have strips under the road so maybe a photograph of the
traffic lights is unnecessary?
I don't know if my direction oft travel was Westbound? The
Google Maps compass is useless.
Can anybody please advise?
Here are the other angles:

Hopefully the formatting is okay because the preview looks
weird.

Speeding Band C
DIR By: dysbyn123

Hi,
I was driving on a wide road yesterday which is extremely wide
and has no road markings in the middle, only cylce lanes on the
sides. The speed limit for this road is only 30mph, I foolishly
decided to overtake the car in front of me and then the car in
front again straight after reaching 60mph. I then noticed a
police mobile camera van and slowed down instantly. It is a
pretty straight road so I made sure there were no oncoming
traffic nor people around before doing so but I admit this was
extremely foolish of me to do so.
I have a clean license of over 8 years and have completed a
speed awareness course 2 years ago for doing I believe 36 in a
30mph.
Would this likely be a speeding fine, careless driving or
dangerous driving? I was not at any point close to crashing. I
have spoken to some motoring solicitors and they have even told
me they speed and overtake on this road but my speeding was very
excessive. I have checked my dash cam to double check no cars
were oncoming and it was no where near a crash at any point.
I'm hoping just the speeding fine which I assume will have a
ban, since there is no markings and no one was around and I only
sped up for the overtakes will I be okay?
Any help is much appreciated.

Who knows? Unless you’re in Scotland, speed on its own can’t
found a dangerous driving charge - but the presence of other
vehicles could. You’ll just have to wait and see.

If you had bothered to read the cunningly hidden "READ THIS
FIRST - **BEFORE POSTING YOUR CASE!**" sticky at the top of the
speeding forum, you would have found the answers to your
questions (as much as they can be answered without a functioning
crystal ball) and known that the speeding forum was for live
cases only, and for people who need to grow a pair.

I saw a flash behind me last night travelling on the A12 in East
London. I had recently passed a yellow camera. The speed limit
was 40mph and my indicated speed was 42mph. I don't recall
seeing any cars that were that close to me.
Is there a standard percentage over the speed limit that cameras
will trigger at? Could it be set at 40mph?

10%+2 over the limit - so 46 in a 40.
