If I read you right, moff, it was clearly dangerous for you to remain in the middle of the junction. So you should be OK if you contest it.

Hello! Hello!! Hello!!! Wot 'ave we 'ere then?

Seems to me as an ex. that you don't have a problem Moff. Whatever the camera says your actions were quite correct and no Magistrate would convict as the element of doubt is in your favour. As has also been said, if the camera was pointing towards, you the evidence is in all probability inadmissible.

If you get a NIP come back.

You should be ok. The double flash (I believe) would usually produce two pictures, one behind the line, one after the line, both showing a red signal - thus proving that you crossed the line on red.

Yours should show two pics of you sat in the middle of the junction which, assuming it wasn't a yellow box with a blocked exit, is not an offence.

I don't think you'll have a problem

I was passed the white line, I was in the middle of the junction, I passed the white line when it was on a full green.

Maybe they have got the idiot that took his whole car though
