MOTORISTS have been warned they could fall foul of a little known rule after a driver was slapped with a £100 fine even though he was “doing the right thing”. Retired Frank Wallington, 76, of Walsa…
He added: "A split second decision on my part has caused me to go through the lights after they had turned red, but I was distracted of course as they were overtaking me. I wasn't looking at the traffic lights, I was looking at them in my rear view mirror whilst they overtook me."
"Even if that white car hadn't been behind the ambulance, which I couldn't see as they were right behind the ambulance, the lights were on green, and if I had been able to pull right behind the ambulance I would have still gone behind the lights on green.”on February 14, 2023 if he wishes to dispute the punishment.
After being told of the situation, Hugh Bladon, a spokesperson for the Alliance of British Drivers, said: "If somebody gets out of the way of an ambulance and then gets fined, I think that is absolutely reprehensible and I don't agree with it whatsoever."If someone drives through a red traffic light then they deserve to be fined, but if they are doing that because they are getting out of the way of an ambulance then that was fair dues. The chap was doing the right thing.
