From Mrs. J. Jones:-

AT about 6 am on October 8, I was travelling along Borough Road, Birkenhead, and approached the traffic lights at Balls Road junction. I was only about 10ft away when they turned from green to orange.

Too close to brake safely, I rode through the orange light. Halfway across, a blue flash went off behind me.

I can only assume that I will now receive some sort of penalty. I am extremely upset and angry.

Have any other readers written to complain about the short duration between the lights changing to orange and the camera engaging? What is the time delay between the orange and the camera becoming engaged?

I can only assume that if these lights are so finely tuned, that an exceptional amount of revenue is being collected unfairly.
