Traffic Light Offences

Traffic Light Offences

Traffic light offences can occur if a police officer has witnessed an alleged offence or photographic evidence is obtained through traffic light detection devices.

If the prosecution are using photographic evidence as proof of the alleged traffic light offence, we will firstly ensure that the device used to capture this evidence is correctly operated and regulated. We will also determine whether or not the traffic light itself is fully operational. Carter Moore Solicitors will examine the prosecution’s case fully and if there are deficiencies, we will bring them to light.

If photographic evidence is used to provide evidence of an alleged offence, you will receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution. You must respond to this notice by identifying the driver or you will be summonsed for failing to furnish information.
