But the lights were on amber?!

If you are being prosecuted for contravening a traffic light, it will be no defence to argue that the light was on amber when you went through it. Going through the lights on amber is as much of an offence as going through it on red. 

Prosecutions for traffic light violations are increasingly based upon evidence from detection devices and cameras. If snapped by a camera going through the lights, it must be shown that the device that is being relied upon by the Crown in seeking to prove your guilty has been correctly calibrated and operated to successfully prove a violation. It must also be shown that the traffic signal itself was correctly operational.
 

Geoffrey Miller Solicitors have the expertise to make these checks and uncover any flaws in their operation.
