The courtesy car company will just forward you the ticket and you can then appeal it.

FanjoForTheMammaries Thu 20-Jun-13 12:11:43

If you get one..was there a camera?

DeepFriedRyvita Thu 20-Jun-13 12:12:02

Thats what ambulances are for in future.

I'm not sure but sorry you had such an awful scare. I can imagine doing the same.

I'd ring the police myself just because, well, I wouldn't be sure if it'd be picked up on anything.

I wouldn't let the car people know till you have spoken to the police. Not sure why!

RoooneyMara Thu 20-Jun-13 12:13:09

I'd think probably an ambulance might have been a better option too - I think I'd be a dangerous driver with that sort of thing going on x

I've done this when getting DS to hospital with croup at 3 in the morning. Nothing happened so I presume there wasn't a camera on that junction.
Do you know if there are traffic signal camera's on the junction you went through?

Don't anyone ever think its ok to do the same thing!!!

You pull over and call an ambulance

Op you say you panicked. Not sure how you can be so careful if you are 'panicked'

DeepFriedRyvita Thu 20-Jun-13 12:14:45

I wouldn't do anything. Unless there are caremas at the lights you likely won't have been caught

FanjoForTheMammaries Thu 20-Jun-13 12:15:22

Stop giving the OP a hard time.

There but for the grace of God go you and hopefully there won't be a "next time".

I would do nothing for a start because there probably wasn't a camera.

If there was a camera on the red light, a ticket will be issued to the courtesy car place and they will forward it on to you. In that case get hold of a printout of medical notes (your gp may be able to access this, a&e visits are monitored for under 5s I think) and then you can appeal the ticket on the grounds of medical emergency. They will likely let you off if you have the a&e admission time. Don't just take the points/ fine - you were in an emergency!

Glad your dd is ok.

I'm not giving her a hard time...at least I hope it doesn't come across that way.

DeepFriedRyvita Thu 20-Jun-13 12:18:42

Not a hard time here either.

Don't want people thinking this is ever 'ok'!!

5madthings Thu 20-Jun-13 12:19:19

DeepFriedRyvita Thu 20-Jun-13 12:19:43


Hope wee one is ok now

What do you suggest to that?!

DeepFriedRyvita Thu 20-Jun-13 12:23:44




HeySoulSister Thu 20-Jun-13 12:24:54

How much further did jumping a light actually get you?

DeepFriedRyvita Thu 20-Jun-13 12:25:02

No ambulance avaliale for what?

They told you to speed there?

FanjoForTheMammaries Thu 20-Jun-13 12:25:27

There's no attitude of that


Am hoping her DD is Ok.
