Are you sure you weren't in a 20mph zone, past a school?

Foreign licence &gt; 12months @ Red light camera
By: Ctois Date: November 2, 2024, 10:37 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all
I am a holder of a foreign licence. It is from a country that
can�t be exchanged for a UK one. I was permitted to driver for
12 months starting July last year.
I totally missed this like a dumb@ss and continued to drive.
Got flashed by a red light camera today, and worried stiff.
I saw it turning amber when I drove past it, when I drove I got
slowed behind a crawling bus.
I have an insurance that will last me till Feb. Not sure if it
is valid now given I am not �supposed to� drive.
Should I find a lawyer? How bad are the penalties?
I googled and saw jail term or criminal charges.
Don�t want to lose my job or go to prison!
Grateful for kind advice, thank you
Charles T.

I'd suggest you wait until you get a 172 notice to identify
driver. Who is the car registered to and where?

Pre-emptive plea

Last evening I was driving in an area of SE London with which I
am not familiar. I was travelling northbound on Rye Lane. I was
heading to a nearby Morrisons
At the junction in the attached map, my Google Maps, I believe,
told me to continue on Rye Ln, and I bore left
I did not see the signs that indicate that cars are not allowed.
I believe that there was a bus that block the sign on the right,
and the End of Route sign partially obscured the sign on the
left. At any rate, with the poor twilight, I missed them. I
found it odd that there was no traffic on Rye Ln. I carried on
until Hanover Park where I did see signs, and turned right
I later drove by the initial intersection and noticed the signs.
It seems that I should have borne right on Rye Ln (it goes both
straight and, briefly, right) which then becomed Copeland Rd
I wasn�t trying to sneak down Rye Ln and, other than the Google
Maps, I cannot explain how I made such an error. I appreciate
that one cannot blame GPS systems for bad information
I await the PCN
I wonder if there is any benefit to contacting Southwark Council
(I believe) and pre-emptively confessing my guilt and confusion?
I do not hold out much hope
Thank you

Get a grip - this is a minor traffic misdemeanour.
Update this thread if you get a PCN.
One thing you can do is check the V5C logbook has the correct
address.

Exactly. It is not a murder trial, and your worst outcome is
having to pay the full PCN penalty of �130.

Thank you both for your replies. I did not mean to give the
impression that I was taking this matter as life-threatening. I
was just curious about the value in contacting the council in
advance to demonstrate that it was an error, not an intention. I
obviously would prefer not to have to cough up any penalty
My message has somehow been moved into Flame Pit. I do not know
why. I needed some help in locating it. The links received in
your email alerts led to an error message
I will, indeed, post the PCN when it arrives
Thanks again

It will have been moved here as it does not (at this stage)
pertain to a live case, as you have not received a PCN.
