Contravening a Traffic Sign
Contravening a traffic
sign includes offences such as going through
a red traffic light, ignoring a one way
street sign or turning left or right when
the traffic signs say that you are not
allowed to.
These offences carry
3 points and a fine of up to £1000.
You can defend these
allgations if you can show that you didn't
contravene the direction given by the sign,
or you can show that the sign did not conform
with the rules set down in the Traffic Signs
and General Regulations (in relation to
size/colour/illumination etc).
If you have been accused
of contravening a traffic sign then ask
a question and we will try and help you.
If you had a good
reason for contravening the sign (an emergency
for example) then we might be able to help
you try and avoid the points with a special
reasons argument.
Ask a question. What
have you got to lose - apart from your
licence.
