Hope this is the right place. I’m in England (UK).
I received a Notice of Intended Prosecution for allegedly failing to comply with a red light.
What happened:
• I was stopped at a junction in the right-turn lane, where the right-turn arrow was red.
• The lane for going straight had a green light.
• The lane markings between the lanes were broken (dashed), not solid.
• I indicated left, waited until it was safe, and moved left to go straight.
• As I crossed the stop line, the camera flashed.
The photos show:
1. My car stopped at the line in the right lane indicating left.
2. The next photo shows my car crossing the line angled left, going straight.
I did not turn right and the direction I went (straight) had a green light.
The notice says the recorded time into red was 91 seconds.
The alleged offence wording is “Fail to comply with red / green arrow / lane closure light signals – automatic equipment.”
Do I have any realistic chance of disputing this, or will it still count as running the red because I crossed the line from the right-turn lane?
