Having just recently been to court and had 5 penalty points for careless driving (dangerous driving got dropped), sadly I have to go to court again for going through a red light supposedly. Got stopped by a police car behind me when I went through the lights at a junction just as it changed to Amber, the police car followed without there sirens and pulled me over and INSTANTLY wrote me a ticket of which I've sent off to go to court.

Being that I've only had my license a year in June, I am in a bit of a sticky situation.

Whats the worst that will happen?

Anyone had anything similiar?

most likely you will lose your licence and have to redo your test, because thats what happens when you have 6 or more points in the first two years, unluckey bud

Unfortunately Omega is correct, you will lose your license as jumping a red is a 3 point offence (i know first hand ) and this will exceed the limit of 6 points under your 2 year probation period.

Unless you require your license for work purpose's and can perhaps get a senior member of your employer to write a letter confirming you need your license and would lose your job if you lost it, i have heard of case's where this plea has succeeded but resulted in a large fine.

Otherwise it will mean having to re-take the theory and practical test again.

well thats complete b****x about him pulling you over when it was amber, he should have known better, or perhaps he was having a quiet day and decided to pick on someone
i've gone through an amber with a police car behind before but i suppose its just luck (or no luck) of the draw

Bad luck mate. It could all come down to the mood the judge is in on the day.

Good luck with it and hope for the best

Ahhh this is terrible.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the help.
