I believe it to be seen as worse than a speeding offence so minium 3-6 points and some!

Physio

3 points & £40 fine is what i got (about 7 years ago)

Oh my god didnt think it would be THAT bad a penalty to be honest but then agian she could have caused an accident i guess

Probably a conditional fixed penalty of 3 points and £60

PT

thats what i got 2 years ago

tosh

Me to 3 points & £60 for being .8 of a second into a red light

BM08

Ok cheers guys

its not just the 3 points and £60 fine, its the fact your insurance frowns on this offence more than a speeding offence. it shows you are a risk taker therefore more likely to have a claim=your insurance premium will go up by usually about 15%

i wasnt paying attention one night and ran a red light.
I had already seen the police sitting at the junction.
Needless to say the pulled me over, at that point I didnt have a clue until they told me.
I explained that I had seen the green man crossing symbol come on and misunderstood that for a green light.
I was told it was a 3 point and £60 fine

Luckily for me they let me off, it certainly made me think about what could of happened if I had an accident

i see cunts around here jumping red lights all the time knowlingly especially at m4 j11 roundabout, and then they block the boxes and jam up the whole roundabout

SassyRS

If she didnt see the light was red isnt that classed as driving with undue care and attention ?!?

fish99

Most certainly would be..

Yeah one of the worst offences, Dangerous driving points

TS10 ( The correct code for it along with 3 points ) and a £60 fine
