- Red light offences caught on camera. The penalty for this offence ranges from 3 penalty points plus £100 to £1000 fine. More serious offenders may go to court and receive a fine and an instant ban. These clips demonstrate why it is so important to check before entering a junction - even when your light is on green! Remember, the next idiot driver may be just around the corner.
Regretfully, this is the normal behaviour of drivers.
Good reminder to all those that feel that it does not apply to them ! prefessional drivers, car drivers, and cyclists. Wonder if the new highway code is out yet ?
Good compilation of driver behaviour. Whilst it does happen all the time, luckily it's is still only a smaller percentage of drivers.
With companies like Next Base with the dashcam footage able to be forwarded to the Police, these idiots can now be prosecuted using the video footage as evidence the police do not need to be there anymore to catch and prosecute them at the time, that is the other good reason to used a dashcam on the road. If you say it was not you driving and refuse to name the driver you are then prosecuted for withholding information and obstruction of justice , you will still get the points and an even bigger fine
I've noticed that bus drivers are very dangerous drivers
Ever driven a bus? Not easy at traffic lights.
Informative video🎉. I usually always slow down on amber even if i can make it. Rather be paraded by horns then a 3 point fine tbh. It seems that the UK is lacking in red light cameras. Saw on a map and we dont have nearly as much as the speed ones. Any other way you can be caught breaking a red light from other cameras? Say in a box junction?
Yesterday I ran on red light would I receive fine and plenty points . There was no red light camera though? Please reply
@@royalluxurycars8529 not unless someone with a dashcam submits footage to the police. Could take up 14 days before the notice of intended prosecution arrives
I remember an incident some years back, where a car (private hire, I think it was) ran a red light, and found himself coming to a dead stop as he slammed his car into the centre of the rear wheel of a large tractor. The tractor sustained damage which disabled it for a week or two - The car was destroyed. Apparently, this driver never learnt from his stupidity, and had a similar incident only a few months later. His taxiing licence was cancelled, and he was banned from driving for two years. I don't know how many points he earned, or what the fine amounted to.
if a set of lights dont have cameras and youve crossed the red line can you still be fined?
This problem is definitely getting worse.I wish that the road planners could also re-introduce "Give Way" signs at roundabouts.Many drivers just seem to think that they have the right to speed through to maintain the flow.Well , Amber Gambling is dangerous and going through red lights as fast as one can is criminal. Driving instruction on the need to observe regulations needs to be improved.
Errrm, I drive artics, and regularly have my tail end go through red when I couldn’t stop at amber 1/4 second before I went through! IF I ever get a ticket, I’ll fight it all the way. Not had one yet
Its crazy, proper winds me up, people really do not care for anyone but themselves. Honestly agree with self-driving cars as people clearly can't be trusted to drive...
I see it daily, honestly it needs policing...
Me too, I saw a bus full of passengers being driven through a red light on Saturday. Driver didn’t slow at all
Lovely soul at 1:51; met delightful folk like them at the other end in the artic, and guess what? I aint getting out of the way once committed so they’re reversing!
Drivers should approach lights expecting to have to stop not hoping to get thru !
Very informative and simple to understand
Thanks Martin 👍
As pedestrians crossing a road whilst the green man was showing, we were joined by a rude driver who beeped his horn as we were crossing. I shouted that the green man was showing which he would have seen. I was fuming. Who does he think he is thinking he's entitled to go through a red light and seeing pedestrians crossing with the green man showing, and beeping his horn at us as if he owns the road!?
Bus drivers blatantly going through a red light should lose their PSV for life.......

According to this kind of violation, turning left at red traffic lights is illegal in the UK as it would increase the risk of traffic collisions between traffic and pedestrians and is not being considered at all.
That’s correct. There’s no exception for turning on a red light as there is in some of the states in the US
Traffic lights should have timers.
Do they all get caught by red traffic light cameras? I heard that majority of cameras dont work .. unless its a very busy main road or junction
They purposely keep you guessing
@@Studidit what doss that mean 🤣
can there be appeal on one of the cases when the person accidentally turned left (even though probably there was left filter light), those can get confusing at times.
In these cases, depending upon the persons record of penalty points, the driver may be offered a driver improvement course as an alternative to penalty points.
I accidentally drove pasta red light a bit too late I think I’m not too sure but I’m scared of getting a letter, how does the letters work? Do they come within 14 days or what
The NIP - notice of intended prosecution is sent within 14 days. To put your mind at ease, if possible, check if the lights actually have a red light camera
@@Studidit I actually went back to check and I’m not sure what I should be looking at? Like what is a red light camera? I know most traffic lights have some sort of little cameras at the top but people always drive past the red lights and nothing happens so I’m not sure if those are red light cameras or not
@@Yankzzster the little black “cameras” are actually traffic light sensors detecting approaching traffic to change the lights. The red light camera are usually yellow and look similar to a speed camera
@@Studidit cool so I went back and the yellow cameras were speed cameras,
But I’m not sure if they are also red light cameras? It’s the square yellow ones
Hey as yesterday that when the amber light shows you need to make yourself ready to stop so I did it and what happen I just press the harsh break and I just stop on the stop line and then what I did. I just reverse my car back what do you think that what would happen now do you think it will be a problem because it happened today again.
Doesn’t sound like a problem.
Bring back roundabouts the traffic keeps moving traffic lights are there just to generate fines for the treasury or even better ride a push bike there isn't any rules or laws for them
Just obey the rules
As you said in the video: Proceed on GREEN IF IT'S SAFE TO DO SO. Which actually means your as guilty as the person jumping the red light if there's an accident.
What if you are late for a raid and you are main tank? Only reason that would be acceptable I guess
so say i for example i go through a red light that dont flash i wont get done for it? only if someone reports it or there is a camera that flashes
That’s correct, but you’ll spend the next 14 days wondering if a Notice of Intended Prosecution pops through your letterbox.
@@StudiditSee the footages sent in, do the people in them get done for it?
Is it just uploaded to TH-cam or is it also sent to the police?
@@akj2387 just uploaded to TH-cam. Any footage submitted to the police mustn’t be on social media as it can be detrimental to a prosecution
My front tyre went over the white line and then stopped and reverse as it was safe as there was no one behind so will that still issue a ticket?
The offence is called an “absolute offence” which means all the police have to prove is that you crossed the line while the light was on red. Even if a camera captures this, there’s still a process to decide if it is worthwhile prosecuting the offender. A couple of years ago a case against a learner driver was thrown out when the magistrate saw the learner driver had only crossed the line by 1 metre. So a prosecution COULD be sought but it is unlikely in my opinion.
Very good video. I am new Driver.This video is very useful.
Today I accidentally drove through a red light at a roundabout junction. It was completely my fault and I accept that!
There were no police cars around and I didn’t see any cameras when I went back through the junction later. I then went on google maps and saw no cameras.
So would you say there’s a fair chance of getting away with this one?
Sounds likely you got away with that one!
2:30; last I heard, UK Police reluctant to prosecute foreign drivers on non-police stop offences, as the 172 notice doesn’t apply outside the UK and so pointless going for it.
That include murder
@@paulnicoll1791, murder generally isn’t a traffic offence, so they will actively pursue a suspect on that one. Extradition sought et al.
How bout if you do a right turn , you pass the line on yellow then continue.
Continue or stop in the intersection?
If you’ve already crossed the stop line, there’s no offence committed with regards to a red light offence. The decision to continue through is very much based on the circumstances. If you’re queueing you may wait if you can do so in a safe position. You have to consider pedestrian safety if you’re waiting on a crossing area. You have to consider the vehicular flow from opposing flows and whether you’re creating risk for them or yourself. If waiting within the junction and you would be blocking the flow, you may continue through the junction with caution.
Thoughts and comments how to appeal red lights offence? Thank you
You can decline the initial penalty take the case to court, but you risk an increased fine and penalty. If the notice of intended prosecution was issued within 14 days of the alleged offence, and they have the vehicle on camera going through the red light, I’m not a legal expert, but as I understand it, you’re onto a loser and without special mitigating circumstances, such as allowing a blue light vehicle through, it’s not worth the risk of losing.
@@Studidit What happens if the NIP does not come within 14 days?
@@k9koulla415 there’s lot of advice for legal experts online. From what I understand, the prosecution may be void.
Wow, and I thought all traffic lights had cameras. I guess not?
i was scared of points on my license as I'm a new driver and i believe i crossed red light accidently. I never passed red light before. it's first time. it was cloudy while driving then weather changed suddenly and direct sunlight affecting my vision same time I set sun visor and made slow move when I saw it was red while passing.
thought to reverse back but then I could hit other car. so I drove slowly. red light camera junction, so scared if camera catch me. do they send me ticket or not?
The ticket could be issued. Sounds to me that if a ticket is issued, you may be offered the alternative to a penalty, which is attending a driver improvement scheme. This doesn’t result points on your licence
@@Studidit I feel a bit relaxed to hear from you. thank you. I'll be more careful 🙂
New highway code is on sale now, watch for older copies still on sale.
What happens if you go through at amber but it turns red as half your car has crossed the line
No part of your vehicle can legally cross the line on red. You’ve left it too late
@@Studidit No, it is only a penalty if you start crossing when the light is already red
@@VR-lc8he No part of your vehicle must cross the white painted stop line when the red or amber lights are illuminated
Regulations 33 to 52 of the Traffic Signals Regulations and General Directions 2002
The Trent bus was pushing its look though it does take a lot longer to stop a large vehicle than a small vehicle such as a car and some bus drivers especially for certain operators are under a look of pressure from tight schedules which does not help.
Though everyone including car drivers should be professional drivers as much as possible.
I personally think amber light should be on for 4 seconds instead of 2 - 3 to allow more time for larger vehicles to make a decision if they can stop or not.
If it’s on green you know that it will be turning to red.
Please report immediately
One of worst places is in pinhoe road exeter near aldi crossing to sainsburys.
I accidentally crossed a red today, no more than a second after it turned red, If that! Maybe 0.5 seconds.
I was being tailgated by a lorry, no more than a foot off my back bumper, and didn’t want to brake hard going 30mph.
I do realise it was my fault, but I’m sure had I braked, there was a good chance he would’ve hit be.
He did manage to stop, but I’m not sure if he actually crossed the line as he crossed.
From what I know, there wasn’t any cameras around.
It was a pedestrian puffin crossing.
Chances of getting done for this? Unless the lorry driver sends it in
When approaching the crossing you could’ve anticipated the lights changing by recognising the presence of the pedestrian who had requested the light to change. Knowing that you were being tailgated and that you were approaching a crossing, especially where it is likely to change, you should have anticipated the danger and slowed down well before in order to avoid a rear end collision. The lorry was only a”foot” off your bumper?? and you couldn’t stop, but the lorry did, sounds suspect. I wouldn’t rely on that as a defence in the unlikely event that you receive a notice of intended prosecution. In the future if you’re being tailgated, increase the space ahead of you. You are in control of the space in front, the following driver is in control of the gap between you. You have no control over this, except by giving yourself more time to anticipate danger and use your brake lights earlier and gradually reduce speed.
Has anyone seen buses (In Australia) go on red half the time? Might've been my bad eyes though
The artic pushing in a the very beginning of the video. Signalling does NOT make it OK to push in.
@@I-Love-Taylor-Swift he was bullying the learner driver or he’s just not a very good driver or both.
Very interesting. What do the red light cameras look like that can catch you?
Very similar to speed cameras - painted yellow (mostly)
@@Studidit
Thank you for replying!
So the black boxes on top of the traffic lights are only sensors then?
There is a roundabout a few miles where I live which has traffic lights everywhere, basically at every entrance and every exit and within the roundabout but i see no yellow cameras. In fact none of the traffic lights even have that sensor on top of them. It’s all a bit confusing.
There is a what is labeled a “crime prevention” camera as it is quite a dodgy part of town but it is so high up and can not see the red lights as it is so high. That’s the only camera I can see.
@@anonymoushuman8962 the little black ‘cameras’ are microwave sensors picking up approaching traffic to manage traffic flow. If these aren’t there, there’s magnetic wires, called an inductive loop, buried in the road surface which also act as sensors (look a little like #)
@@Studidit
I see. I didn’t see any markings on the road either.
However, can they catch you going through a red light on their own or do they just act as sensors?
Sorry for being pedantic it’s just I like to understand so I can make sure I am ok in the future as I am a relatively new driver.
Am I right in saying that those black boxes are only sensors and the markings under the asphalt are only sensors too and can not take photos of your reg plate?
@@anonymoushuman8962 you’re correct in saying the black boxes and inductive loops are only there as sensors. They can’t take images for prosecution. The vast majority of traffic light junctions don’t have any red light cameras, they’re usually installed at problem junctions where there have been lots of collisions. Don’t forget though that a police officer only needs to witness you crossing the line on red, no other evidence is required. Also, there are now millions of vehicles fitted with dash cams and many police forces allow video footage to be uploaded for them to use for prosecution.
The best approach is to anticipate the lights changing. If they’ve been on for some time and you see vehicles or pedestrians or cyclists waiting at the side roads, these have triggered the sensors and the lights could change soon. Be prepared to stop, and on approach, consciously make the decision that it is too late to stop. This decision is based on your speed and the conditions. If you’re familiar with the overall stopping distances in the Highway Code, use these as a guide.
I’m new to driving and I’ve been so nervous recently as I’ve been going through some yellow light as hardly any time to stop.
If I go through a light on yellow and it turns red once I have passed or just as passing is this okay I get your point about no part of the car should be on the white line when a red light is shown but surely there is a second or two leeway
Like sometime I will go through a just turned yellow light and the next one for the same traffic light will be red so I feel like I will be fined I try my best not to go through them but if I go through first on yellow and second one 10 metres away on red is that still illegal or is it just the first traffic light the can do you for
Thanks for video again mate
Regulations mean at every traffic light the amber is on for three seconds (+/- 0.25secs). Awareness, anticipation and planning on approach to a traffic light should include thinking how long the green has been showing? Is there any vehicles on the side roads or pedestrians who’ve triggered the lights to change? You should pick a point where you get to which means it’s too late to stop safely. Remember amber means the same as red, except if stopping would cause a collision or you to stop over the stop line.
Lights at many junctions change in sequence as you pass through. If you pass the first set on late amber, you’ll get to the next set on late amber or even early red. If you pass the first set on late amber, you should be preparing to stop at the next set rather than rushing to beat them changing.
Not always so plain and simple. The amber light shows for just 3 second's, irrespective of the speed limit. Thats fine for a 20 or 30 limit but if it's in a 50 or 60 zone that a very different situation. Just imagine hauling a 38 ton artic down from say, 50 to zero in 3 seconds.
That sounds like a driver who isn’t planning for the lights changing and being a reactive driver not the proactive driver they should be. Fortunately most lorry drivers are aware of the distance they’ll need and make allowances for this 👍
What if you slightly go over the white line and then reversed back if there was no one behind will that still give a ticket ?
You should be okay, correcting your mistake as you didn't go too far into the junction to cause an obstruction. Problem may be though, red light cameras. They will get you if you cross the white line. You could try and argue it with, you didn't go far and corrected the mistake by reversing to behind the line but it wouldn't be in your control.
did you know that deliverou cyclists have the same wrights as emergency services to go through red traffic lights if they are carrying hot food
Ah, is that where the term “red hot” comes from? 😅

Cars should be able to stop, motorcycles should be able to stop, bikes should be able to stop but im sorry when you are in a HGV, LGV or a Bus and the light instantly changes in a blink of an eye almost from green, amber to red im sorry but those types of vehicles cannot just slam on for the sake of the goods they are carrying or passengers and lets not forget the out come could be far worse slamming on in a larger vehicle than to carry on going through on amber.
The duration a traffic light is on amber then red is set in regulation. This doesn’t vary. A good driver of any vehicle type will be aware they have been approaching a green light for some time and will be anticipating the change. If they haven’t been able to see the light, they should be anticipating it changing and reduce speed, ready to respond. Any sudden stop will be down to poor awareness anticipation and planning.
I am a red light jumper and I admit it. I hate stopping at red lights. The way I view it I’m causing less pollution and using less petrol by not stopping. Although I must admit it’s something I need to stop doing.

If there are no lines on the road or a stop sign you can legally go through it
Some drivers just don't care
