anyone familiar with oxford traffic lights?
I need some help...
does anyone know the traffic lights outside the park and ride just before the headington roundabout on the A40 heading into oxford?
If you do....
are the grey camera boxes, boxes for taking pictures of people who skip the red lights?
When i was learning around oxford, they were the traffic lights i was always warned of because they are the only ones in the area that catch you automatically if you skip them.
Can anyone confirm that this is not true?????
Thanks
mooney

Why, what are we worried about then. Have you been a wee bit naughty?

Nope, the grey boxes are to catch people who have silly crayon drawings on their cars - the penalty is 3 points, a £60 fine and a really big rubber

I know the lights, that camera is also listed in my TomTom Cam data.
It catches you if you skip the lights when they are on red (or have just turned red) I also know someone who got caught on it so it deffo works
Basically if you skipped the lights you might be getting a slip in the post!

Did you see it flash? They often don't have film in them so don't worry too much
If you're bored of ignoring me now get on MSN
