I was the 2nd car at the junction. Bus was on my left where the bus lane is. Blocking the view of the lights on the left.
Car in front stopped. I stopped. Didn’t really notice if the lights was red or green. I just presumed it was red since he stopped.
Few mins later the car in front pulled forward. I followed him (I assumed it was green at this point). As soon as I pulled out, I noticed the lights were sold red. Looked at my mirror. The cars behind me had stopped. That’s when I realised I went through a red light. Checked the side mirror no flash. (Although I wouldn’t have seen the flashes anyways since it would have happen so fast. I know that camera works cos my mate dad got clocked there).
So I drove forward as normal, next lights a few yards away were sold green. I must have been doing 20-25mph at this point as soon as I reached the light it went amber. I know I couldn’t have stopped in time and would have ended up in the middle of the junction or just after it. So I carried on.
I think the second set of light I would have been ok, the first I’m not too sure about.

The first one is give or take I don't know if I actually passed it at amber turning red or at sold red. Knowing me I think I went through on red. The second it was amber when I was about to cross and turned red when I crossed it.
