Proceeding ahead if traffic light on your back turned red
« on: »
Hi folks,

Can you legally proceed ahead where earlier you had crossed the green light but then had to wait on the threshold of big yellow box. Obviously the light which you had already crossed will be turned into red. So in that scenario, is it safe to proceed ahead if the traffic on your left is giving you the way to proceed. Yellow box junction at no point was obstructed.

The offence is crossing the stop line on a red light, so if you are already past the stop line on green then no offence as far as I know, however driving headlong into traffic that has now got a green light going the other way could possibly land you in trouble.

Indeed, and the offence is committed if any part of the car crosses the line. It can be difficult, if not impossible, for a driver to see whether the rear bumper has cleared the line.
