minor things that make you fume

It is mate, amber is a warning the lights are now changing so you cannot proceed.

Hands up it was my fault, but it was partly because the person in front of me, who I caught up with at the lights, was going just under 20 meaning I wouldn't have been in the catch zone if he was going the speed limit.

Just checked, and it seems you can go through if you've already crossed the white stop line or it's too dangerous to stop. Sounds like you've been unlucky there. Bummer.

Yeah mate, like I said if I didn't slow down because of the old codger in front I wouldn't have been flashed.

Hoping I get offered the course like but depends if it's either 3 years since your last incident or 3 years since you completed the course..

Tbh I always believed passing through on amber was fine (though you run the risk of it changing to red and getting caught), now I know amber is bad too, I'll be changing my ways!

Traffic cameras are not set to go off unless you go through and the light is red. I've recently done a course and was told that by the two people running it. If you go through while the light is on amber you should not be flashed and if you are then there is something wrong with the camera. It's absolutely not illegal to go through on amber, it says that you must stop unless it is not safe to do so, but this cannot be known by a camera, hence why they only flash on red lights.

In other words, i'd ask for evidence.

Nope nothing, shady get didn't even leave me a receipt, I was out when my missus paid up, he hasn't provided any paperwork. I think I've been stupid and believed what I thought was a trusted site.

Was in an NHS hospital today and went for my dinner in the canteen. Had chicken pie on so went for that, they then banged a load of chips on the plate and gave it me without even touching the tray of veg next to it, so I asked for veg and was charged extra! And they wonder why there is an obesity problem. Charge extra for the chips not the veg you morons.

Well I've not had anything through, touch wood.

It definitely flashed and I definitely went through on amber - possibly the car slowing down had something to do with it?

Not hearing back from an interview!

My missus works for the NHS and it seems to be the norm there, plain bad manners if nothing else.

Princess on board.

Baby/child on board signs serve a legit purpose, but people who buy these other ones clearly don't get it.

Funny you should mention this though. I was out yesterday and saw someone with a Smart car, and they had a sticker on the back saying 'Smart Arse', I just thought how lame it was. Imagine going out and spending money on that sticker.

Intriguing. What purpose is that?

You don't always get a ticket just because the camera flashed pal. if you did, I would have had many more tickets by now.
