The Flame Pit / Foreign licence > 12months @ Red light camera
« on: November 03, 2024, 03:37:16 am »
Hi all
I am a holder of a foreign licence. It is from a country that can’t be exchanged for a UK one. I was permitted to driver for 12 months starting July last year.
I totally missed this like a dumb@ss and continued to drive.
Got flashed by a red light camera today, and worried stiff.
I saw it turning amber when I drove past it, when I drove I got slowed behind a crawling bus.
I have an insurance that will last me till Feb. Not sure if it is valid now given I am not “supposed to” drive.
Should I find a lawyer? How bad are the penalties?
I googled and saw jail term or criminal charges.
Don’t want to lose my job or go to prison!
Grateful for kind advice, thank you
