Although you were too close when it turned red to stop you surely should have slowed down while it was amber?

it's a cross road, but i agree, the limit should be lower, but it's not.

| The speed limit is exactly that. A limit, not a target. You should be able to use your powers of planning and anticipation to make sure that this didn't occur.

yes i understand that, however the law states that you may drive upto the speed limit. I am completely aware that i am in the wrong, however i maintain that i was doing a safe, and legal speed.
