Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Islington, code 32d, proceeding in wrong direction, Parkway / Camden High Street

Thanks. I'll wait to see if the person you mentioned (the regular) has time to reply. I know I have to pay the fine by 22Apr25 (I chased for the DVD on 08Apr25 and was told the PCN was on hold for 14 days from that date). At the moment, and I know I am no expert, I cannot see any issues with the enforcement process..

I have just received the DVD, and I am definitely doing a left turn, which as your photo showed, is not permitted. The lower PCN charge is frozen until 22Apr25. Is there any possible defence I could use? I suspect I just have to pay up. Thanks in advance for any guidance. I am not familiar with this part of London, it was night time, and clearly I was not paying enough attention.

Thanks for the amazingly detailed reply, and on a Saturday night too! I thought a defence was probably unlikely, and you have confirmed it. I will bite the bullet...

Speeding and other criminal offences / Going through a red light
« on: April 05, 2025, 06:47:30 pm »
Hi all,
I recently received a Notice of Intended Prosecution from the Metropolitan Police for allegedly failing to comply with a red light signal. I'm looking for advice on my options.
Here are the details:

Date of offense: March 23, 2025 at 11:15 hrs
Location: A24 Tooting High St junction with Garratt Lane, northbound, SW17 (code 5042)
Vehicle: Volvo (my car)
Offense: Failing to comply with red light signals - automatic equipment
Time into red: 1.4 seconds
Legal basis: Section 36(1) of Road Traffic Act 1988, Traffic Signs Regulations 2016

The notice is dated April 1, 2025, and I need to provide driver information within 28 days. The images clearly show my vehicle passing through the junction after the light had turned red.
To be honest, I don't specifically recall this incident, but looking at the evidence, I can see I was 1.4 seconds into the red light. The notice mentions an educational course might be available until June 20, 2025, instead of getting points and a fine.
I'm inclined to admit liability and hope I'm offered the course, but wanted to check with experts here if there's anything else I should consider before responding? Is there any defence for such a short time into red, or should I just accept responsibility?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry to have posted the PCN as a photo, didn't realise they can be uploaded on here. I have spoken to TFL and asked them for a video, as you said, they will send it in a dvd, told me to call back in 13 days if it hasn't arrived. If on the dvd it's obvious it's my car, should I just pay up? Again, as you said, the PCN is frozen for two weeks. Or should I post the video on here first to see if any of you have any comments?

I definitely did this journey, I'm not sure exactly where this location is (but here is Google Maps link https://maps.app.goo.gl/xHaJKKcxU32VwPLr7) . I don't recall seeing this arrow. On the two photos (https://photos.app.goo.gl/gzJ1oH6dqz8yAgtz9), the first one is my correct registration plate YY08 GOC. In the second photo, the pale white car turning left is not my car. I cannot identify my car in the second photo (they have superimposed the registration number of my ca on the bottom right of the second photo)
