No witnesses?

Hope you and the GF are on the mend okay and the tranny driver gets shot at dawn for ruining an ED30.

Jeez  :surprised:

The red light camera... loads of people say those small camera type things that sit on the top of the Traffic Lights.. they are just sensor right ?

I know some traffic lights have a Yellow Traffic Camera and flash if you jump a red light?

Could some one brush light on the red light camera ?

Maybe im wrong. I called it red light cam because it looks like one that catches those people. This one was like a speed cam next to lights. You can see it in the pic.                Gemma and i were taken to hospital but the police say then got witnesses. But Duno what was said.

Oh My  :surprised: Hope you and the GF are gonna be ok  :happy2: I had a bump this morning.  I know how gutted I felt/still feel and I only damaged the front bumper and wing. Your crash is a whole different kettle of fish mate. My heart goes out to you!

The black box above the light is a sensor to detect lights at night and judge traffic AFAIK and the yellow box next to the lights is the red light camera.
Get well soon fella, atleast you're both OK.

Dude, gutting. Hope you get better.

What the hell's happening? September's meant to be the accursed month for GTIs.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
