3 points, 60quid fine and a raping on your insurance, as a lot of companies regard it worse than drink driving!

Depends how they feel! If the road was quiet it will differ the penalty for if it were busy, or if you crawled through it would differ if you went through at 30mph
If you went through a red light at 30mph at 3.30pm on a friday outside a school im sure you'd be looking at a dangerous driving chare..

I got three points and a £60 fine and to be honest it made next to no difference to my insurance premium upon renewal

i've done it before. after a night shift at work, no one at the lights and they suddenly decided to go red. didn't have enough time to react and i was tired aswell so went through.
only noticed when i looked back and saw other cars waiting
shit happens. luckily i got away with it.

As him, my bro got caught, can't remember the code but was over the speed limit, through a red light (at about 4am), his insurance went up loads, but was also driving desirable cars at the time
