My dad was saying they had a T.V. program on the other night. No doubt propaganda put out on behalf of the CPS. Considering recent complaints sent in over the matter.
There is no such term in the traffic light law as Waiver.
They are claiming that if you are too close to a traffic light signal on amber. It is still illegal to continue through. But that they waiver it.
This is simply an untrue statement from the CPS and police.
It clearly states in the very simple and clear legislation that an amber signal is to be regarded as a RED light to stop. UNLESS you are too close to safely stop. In which case IN LAW YOU THEN ARE TO REGARD/TREAT an amber signal ad if it were GREEN.
There is no waivering.
There is only truth and fact of either Taught, true and real stopping distances and safe stopping distances for different vehicles. Including thinking times.
And these require evidence. Evidence which the police and CPS do not want to include or gather with their machines and devices.
They only want to gather minimal (useless) evidence for purposes of prosecution. Not fair honest truth and records of events. To correctly and clearly show times, distances and the very IMPORTANT amber phase period.
Which is removed. And only simpleton evidence of a RED light is kept.
No co operation from the police or local council is given. Only obstruction and opposition.

Also when I got stopped by the police the other week it must not have shown the van had no M.O.T. ! And it didn't either via the Sainsburys DVLA system when I was doing the Bentcop reg test! Possible that they only check for TAX and insurance?

Ok, these are the main points for the small sentence on traffic signal law.
1. The Highway code and driving theory test states 23 meters as an official guideline control distance for a,starting point to evaluating stopping distances and is the,standard distance taught.
If the LAW has a problem with that, I suggest they see Lord Faulkes about getting it changed.
2. The critical concern of traffic light law is the Amber phase, yet the police choose to exclude amber evidence from their prosecution evidence gathering process. And making calculating the distance as difficult as possible to the average person.
3. There is no such thing as "waivering" the offence in relation to Amber. The LAW is on if you either can or cannot stop. And no details are given for at what time or distance you see or notice the amber light appear and react to it.
The Police and CPS publish no guidance for vehicle stopping distance for type and weight, old or new. The police send drivers to learn Highway code on a speed awareness course inclusive of those stopping distances, 23 meters for 30mph and state longer even for larger vehicles.
Dorset police publish 1 second threshold time for error into amber.

22 June 2016 Roadworks crew speed through roadworks. No issues with that at all? Their safety, your concern. Your fines & guilt? Also Today I was passing the fixed Red light camera by McDonalds in Rochadale, the one at the Crossroads.. and there was a Flatbed van, with Highways maintenance on it and the yellow, red arrows.. exactly like the type in the above video! ... and i tried to record it but i have lost the video, it didnt record but anyway.. there was no company name on it at all, but a guy was working on the red light camera. He seemed local. not foreign. It isa Gatso traffic light camera. He had the columb hatch open and was doing the electrics. I got to ask a few quick questions at the traffic lights, about the road markings & why they have only just started using them... he said only newer ones have them. I said that they are needed. He said its red light camera. And i said yeas but the Amber phase is the critical concern in law. He just kinda Shrugged. I had to set off then. I didnt get change to think of other questions or quiz him any deeper like where is he from, what company? the police or council? settings questions and challenge his road markings replies. I lost the video i was recording with the registration plate of vehicle, but it seemed like a bog standard Highways Maintenance flatbed with traffic cones on it and road signs. He was not dressed like a technician or specialist, nor was he from Gatso or Truvelo.. i asked him about traffipax cameras briefly... but i had to go. I think if i had stopped properly & got out i would have had change to get some very valuable questions and answers, responses and points across with feedback.

Ok, so today is the 05 July 2016. I have been to Bicester & was going to do a random call in to Traffic Safety Systems to see ifthey might be there on the off chance... But to my surprise the Safety Camera Van was parked over the bridge on the A43! Never seen a Northamptonshire Speed camera van before I dont think. And NEVER on that road! The Police told be the Fixed cameras have been turned off permanently!? Anyway... I spoke to him a bit & got a video & checked the road signs. He doesnt know that much about the LTI so he says. But he does use a 1000 model I think. Anyway... I had to go to Nottingham on the way back... And after I had done the delivery I kind of went the wrong way & by the time I realised & got back on track & completely by mystery chance went through this Railway crossing that has traffic lights before it as well! and you will never guess what!? It has AMBER ARROWS! on the TRAFFIC LIGHTS! only 2/3 light coverage area! and telling you to CARRY ON AT AMBER! And I didnt film it, because i was late & had to work over, but I at least have found it, it exists! So I checked google maps and it does exist!! So what is the Legislation for that?! I have not yet noticed or found any other traffic light sequence laws?! So how can this AMBER light mean to STOP if it has a GO arrow on it!? and yes it appear before the RED LIGHT in the sequence as well so it seems. Google maps... Possibly Simon Byrne Police Chief Officer of Cheshire Police and the Crown Prosecution service can answer how an AMBER ARROW can mean STOP if it shows to carry on?! where no distance is indicated in relation to your approach? Also that last photo outside Claires with the 20mph road. I am not certain if that is the correct signage either, unless someone turned one of the signs around? so it might not just be the Bristol 20mph areas that have incorrect side road signs? I will have to check the older google maps photos.

Look.. today in Grimsby... i went to Mablethorpe for work and on the way was doing a video talk lecture about the lone speed camera markings again... then on the way back through Grimsby.. I saw another set of those AMBER ARROW LIGHTS at traffic lights! only other set to the Nottingham Southwark road set! this set not on a railway crossing either! then i investigated google maps and a strange billboard quirk as well... i noticed. i have never noticed those amber arrows there in the last year and i have been past a few times! I think they are "A joke".
