  • Driver fined for ignoring red traffic light signal

    From Simon Mason@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 13 08:45:30 2023
    A WOMAN has been fined after failing to stop for a red traffic light.

    Kerry Angell, of Trefoil Drove, Thatcham, was caught on March 23 this year driving through a red traffic light in Bristol.

    The 53-year-old was charged with 'failing to comply with the indication given by a traffic sign'.

    At Bath Magistrates Court on October 17, she pleaded guilty and was fined £161.

    She was also ordered to pay £90 in court costs and a victim surcharge of £64.

    Her driving licence was also endorsed with three penalty points.

    The total amount she will need to pay is £315 by December.

    She should have done that on a bicycle and then she wouldn’t have to pay a penny.

    Isn't Thatcham where they make car immobilisers?
    Should have used one.
