Default Red light cams

Do they work the other way?

if your a bit brisk on the lights do they see that?

or has your ar*e end got to go over the line?

Question

Dunno but I am pretty certain the front half of my car passed the lights on amber and the rear on red today - Do I get 1.5 Points?

Basically if the light is red I think it will get you.

I think there's a few seconds in it as techically going through at amber isn't illegal if it's unsafe to stop (i.e. slamming brakes on and locking up).

They have a timer built into them, they become active at a certain point after the light turns red, and de-activate at a set point before they go red/amber.

I don't know what the set times are, 1.5sec rings a bell though

They capture a photo and show the time elapsed since the light turned red. If you are over a certain time then you will be fined.
