Hi.I have been flashed on the M1 going under a red X closed lane past a camera. Thing is, I couldn't safely move out in time. When joining the motorway, I wasn't going to dash across two lanes so I joined, then when I wanted to move again, there was a car on my right so couldn't. The car got next to me right before the red X (speed limit was 40) and I slowed to 30 to move out but I did this after I passed the X. Then right as I started moving out of my lane, I got flashed. I also saw many other flashes in my rear view mirror so likely others got cought out doing the same thing. I have now received my options: Motorway Awareness course or £100 fine and 3 points. Thing is, I don't feel it's right. I want to contest it but I want advice if I should or if I should just let it go and do the course. It feels unjust. I did what I deemed safely possible at the time and I slowed down too but I couldn't be expected to slam the brakes on the motorway to not pass under the X. Also, I already started moving out of the lane plus there was no obstruction ever in that closed lane.EDIT: My dashcam date is wrong, it's definitely recent.Please see dashcam footage of the incident. I've uploaded it as an unlisted YouTube vide here: https://youtu.be/NYZh3FcuKig
