Check the location of red light camera on http://www.speedcameramap.co.uk/

Contact the safety camera partnership via the police (I assume they are already involved due to injury).

Get well soon.

Hope all get sorted Steve. If that all you remember is correct, the C U Next Tuesday should get what's coming to him and not have a leg to stand on..  :fighting:

Sobering reading. Hope you are all well soon and that all involved learn a lesson from this: - The van driver not to run reds and you and your GF (and everyone reading this thread) to be more cautious of people not paying attention despite it not being your fault, I'm always wary of others who drive eratically - paranoid something like this may happen.

I've had 3 near misses in the last 10 days - 2 on mini roundabouts where "give way to traffic from the right" law has been ignored and last week when a big fecking 4x4 undertook me on the hard shoulder of the motorway just as i was pulling over onto the slip road to exit after been sitting in a queue.

I do have a very dark, hard to notice CW Ed30 though so its my fault!!

Hi Steve

really sorry to hear about the smash, hope you're both recovering well. I would have a look to see if there is any CCTV on the junction and then make a request for the footage under the Freedom of Information act. You will not be able to apply for footage of the other vehicle, just yours. However, the footage of your car should show the state of the lights at the time.

It's a long shot, but the police would subpoena this information as part of more serious investigations

Hope this helps

Minty

Sorry to hear of your accident mate.
I am with Highway too and am in the middle of a claim with them too after a mishap 2 weeks ago.
Cars can be repaired but the main thing is that you and your GF are ok.

Really, really sorry to hear this. These holes in vans have a lot to answer for. It's like they are proud to drive dangerously because it's an accepted stereotype that van man cuts you up and shoots the lights etc,,... I had a transit van write off one of my cars and he lied through his teeth as well.
