Was this going through a red light while driving a bus or your car? If in a bus get your manager to download all the camera recordings there may be something there worth using for your defence either on the road, the pavement or in the bus. An elderly passenger moving in the aisle or anyone on the stairs would make a full pressure stop hazardous to their safety especially if there was some exterior distraction as well.

The operations manager probably knows the square root of **** all about it and is just trying to put the wind up you for the pure hell of it.Franglais:

Mea culpa.

The course you would have to do is the “What’s Driving Us” course which costs around £80
You’re only eligible if you haven’t been on a similar course within the last 3 years and the light wasn’t at red for 3 seconds or more before you went through it.
I got caught in Southend years ago and had to do one to keep licence clean, virtually everyone else was there for mobile phone use.
If you have to do a course don’t be late, one guy was 3 mins late and was refused entry, lost his £80, got a fine and 3 points
Does the 3 seconds start when the front of the unit goes through or the rear of your trailer ?

The 3 seconds goes from when the light changes to red to when your vehicle “breaks the beam” as it crosses the white Stop line.
Why is a bus driver asking for info on a truck drivers forum ? Is there no Busnetuk for him to go to?
Oh, and that’s before I start about idiots whinging when they [zb] up…
And, this is why I’m never coming g off “pre mod”… 
Martin:
If you do get a NIP ask for the photograph from the camera that caught you…
I received a NIP last year for blocking a Yellow Box Junction in a place that I have never been to, I asked for the photographic evidence but what they sent me was not my car, not even the same make or colour, yet it was my number plate!
It was, of course, withdrawn when I asked them for additional evidence…
id of thought for any kind of prosecution the would have to supply and send you photographic evidence. not have to ask for it.
