At a busy junction, due to confusion between lights, I broke late and went over the white line activating a red light camera. I have received a NIP in the post today. I have a collegue who was in another car who witnessed the event.

I have submitted a photo request but what are my chances if I choose to contest and take it to court?
 
I was under the understanding that the white line activated a camera which took 2 photos to determine if you actually continued through the junction?

And what part of your car constitutes "over the white line"? Front bumber? Whole car? Back wheel?
 
You could say that your wheel only just went over as you were stopping, but I think it will be down to the judge to decide whether the fine stands or not.

thats what happened, if I did genuinely jump a red then i'd happily take it on the chin. most annoying when i did actually stop, just a few seconds late :(
 
just had photos through and i stopped well over the line so i think i'll just have to take it on the chin :(
