Frequently asked questions
What penalties apply for running a red light?
Usually 3 penalty points and a fine. If it takes you to 12 points within three years, you could face a totting-up ban, so it is worth taking advice.
Can I challenge the allegation?
Yes. We examine the evidence, including camera images and signage, and can challenge whether the offence is made out or the sign was properly displayed.
Should I accept a fixed penalty?
Not automatically. Accepting points can have wider consequences for your licence and insurance. We advise on whether to accept or contest the penalty.
