traffic lights and the law

We recently heard from a members who had received a notice from their local police force asking them to disclose the details of the driver of one of their vehicles during a specific time. The notice appeared to be in relation to an infringement of a traffic light rule, but there was little more information. But our member was warned that failure to comply with the notice might mean that they would be subject to a hefty fine.

We asked our resident legal expert what these notices are all about and what our members should do when they receive them.

One of our long term members, Deidre Dandelion, has conducted extensive research into this area. Deidre, whose husband is an a District Judge with experience of cases like these, operates a small scale vehicle rental operation from the Wirral. She has written a user-friendly guide to the law for other SRVD members. Find out what they said in our current edition of "On the Road" magazine.
