Although to clear it up: to be prosecuted for a camera detected offense (in general, not if there is an emergency vehicle behind you) you must have crossed the solid stop line while the light is red *and* proceeded all the way through the intersection, is that correct?
No cos the traffic light cameras only flash once to prove you were over the line. I have read people trying to argue they were reversing back yet still got the points and fine. It'd deffo be worth a court appeal though if you got a NIP through for that.

There was a coach going up the A55 this morning and a Police Motorbike appeared behind me I think he got impatient next thing you know blues and twos got us both out of the way and shot off. Did move the coach for me though too
