OOPS.. Traffic light camera

Post by beautyfiend »

This morning I came to a set of traffic lights that have a green filter light for turning left- I honestly thought the green arrow was on (Could of just been the sun shining on it making it look brighter- anyone else find that?) and turned left to be met with horns from behind by drivers carrying straight on!
I can't believe I did it- I've driven through these traffic lights like a thousand times and It's never happened before.I've been driving for 6 years and never had any accidents, or been done for speeding, never even had a parking ticket... :oops: luckily I didn't cause any accidents but felt like a complete bufoon, and now I'm worrying about points etc.
Unfortunalty there was a traffic light camera so I know I'm gonna get done for it- question is how much is the fine? and is it a three pointer? What effects do points have on your insurance?

Its a £60 fine and 3 point offence.

Insurance premium increase all depends on your insurance company.
