Free Traffic Legal Advice

Well my viewpoint is that sadly you have no escape on this one: others may differ in their comments.

Red light offences are 'absolute' I think it's called such that there is no excuse permitted.
If say you had moved forward at an angle into the LH lane with no intention to turn right but did so to let an ambulance/fire engine etc through on red for them to turn right then again sadly you would be "done" for crossing the stop line.

This is why on my local dual carriageway we regularly get police and ambulances stuck behind the two lanes of traffic waiting at traffic lights on red and not one single person is going to move. Only if personally directed in person by a police officer in uniform are you allowed to cross the line at a red indicating traffic light. Them blaring their horn behind you to move does not count!

You could try posting on rail forums sub
See
https://www.railforums.co.uk/forums/disputes-prosecutions.152/

that said, from my casual browsing on the forum in the past it seems to me TFL are very litigious (more so than the overground train operators) and if you can get away with a fine rather than a prosecution which is what they usually go for then grab it with both hands and pay up pronto.

There is also this thread on the MSE site where it appears (from the last post) that a significant number of booked and accepted speed awareness course are being cancelled and refunded - presumably with a view to cancelling the entire NIP.
So all in all indeed something odd is going on

Just a heads up
The Oxford congestion charge started this week.
The rules are complex as an usual my disclaimler here is that you need to review the OCC websites for the exact terms rules etc and not rely on the broad rough summary below:

By and large is a 7am to 7pm
It applies to cars only. Commercial vehicles are exempt.
No idea about Camper vans......lots of issues for private cars used for commercial purposes and the hoops to go though to register them: business evidence etc.
Resident of the central area are exempt
Residents of the suburbs get 100 permits per year.
Residents of rest of the county get 25 permits per year.
Blue badge holders (having registered their car) are exempt
No idea how it is meant to work when a car owned by a abled bodied resident entitling them to 25 permits is used to give a lift to a blue badge holder into the city which should be an exempt trip.
Once you have gone though the camera once and used up a permit you can go back and fro any number of times without any additional permit used up... but see below for complications.
If you are not entitled to some form of exemption for the day then its £5.

All of this produces some strange anomolies.
If you have two cars of which you are the keeper then you can register both to have your 25 permits. If however you re-register the DVLA keeper of your second car as another member of the houshold then you can get 25 permits for each car: so your household now has a total of 50 permits. There is a limit to how many cars per household that can be regstered.
If you have two cars registered to you and use one in the morning to drive in that is one permits used up.  If you use it again in the afternoon that is still covered by your permit usage from the morning.  BUT if you use your other car in the afternoon then that is another seperate permit used up.

So far I gather OCC has registered around 50K cars/permits so far.  You need to supply personal/address ID and copies of the vehicle V5 registered at your address to prove you are the keeper and hence your entitlement if applicable to a permit at either the exempt, 100 permits, 25 permit level.

Just off St John's Wood Road there is another double vehicle charging twin bay.
This time more properely marked

If you look at the NIP the first line of the address (which is not blanked out) is "The Company Secretary"

It says "To the Company Secretary (if applicable)"

I think they all say that.

Not the one I helped someone fill in within the last 6 months from Thames Valley Police.
It was addressed directly and soley to the individual who was the registered keeper.
It added on in a couple of lines adjacent to the individual and their address that "If the addresse is a limited company the requirement for driver details is for the Company Secretary"

It may be other Police forces have different policies.....
