Gatso flashed me but no nip yet, am i safe?

[kevo2k7]

Got flashed trying to rush through an amber traffic light (quiet cross roads) and just missing it on 6th Feb but not heard nothing yet, 14 days have passed (excluding Sundays) do you think im safe? ive learnt my lesson either way! ;)

[sinderella]

would that not have been a red light?

[Nibble]

It would have been red and amber if red came next? - just missing an amber means you were on green...?

I would wait another couple of weeks, a friend of mine got his speeding fine letter after 3 and a half weeks

No, I don't think you are safe kev, unless it was a fake one just to get you frightened. If I can get done for £30 in a car park just because I have put my disabled card up the wrong way then I am pretty certain you had better wait for a while before you are sure. I did write with a good excuse and didn't have to pay. Can you think of one which might get you off the hook?

I received an invitation to attend a Speed Awareness Course in this mornings post for doing 37 in a 30 zone, Never even saw the bloody thing let alone the "Flash"

Ok thanks for your replies, yes it had gone to red and i was half way through it so my own fault regardless, i have no excuses and im willing to take the £60 and 3 points punishment, im hoping that it had no film in it due to Council cuts etc but i definately dont think it was a dummy as it flashed twice and nearly brought on a fit it was that bright and quick! ha every morning from now is vital really and im a bag of nerves when i get in frm work wondering whats dropped through the letter box! ha its the 3 points thats the real killer i suppose but finger's crossed that my licence stay's clean!! ;)

I got pulled over for speeding once by a copper on a motorbike, was told I would receive a fixed penlty in the post. Two weeks later to the day I received a fixed penalty but it was from a mobile speed camera from somewhere I had never been and the car in the picture was a Ford Focus whereas my car is an Opel Vectra. A screw on the registration plate of the Focus made a number 8 look like a number 6, that was the only difference between the two registration numbers.

I e-mailed the fixed penalty office and it never went to court.

The cop on the motorbike who pulled me over must have a bad memory or terrible handwriting. Maybe some old dear from Carshalton in an Austin 7 got my penalty notice?
