A driver who went through red traffic lights to let an ambulance pass has spoken out after being fined
A driver could receive a hefty punishment after he slowed down to let an ambulance pass him on the A52 in Nottinghamshire. Retired Frank Wallington, 76, of Walsall, was driving home to the West Midlands on March 21, 2023 after attending his cousin's funeral in Long Bennington when he saw an ambulance with flashing blue lights approaching.
"I can't deny that I was 1.2 seconds late going through the traffic lights, but my point is that it was mitigating circumstances. If I had carried on I would have blocked the ambulance's procedure through those traffic lights as the road went into a single lane shortly afterwards. "Even if that white car hadn't been behind the ambulance which I couldn't see as they were right behind the ambulance the lights were on green, and if I had been able to pull right behind the ambulance I would have still gone behind the lights on green. Despite explaining the situation, Frank has been told that he must appear at Nottingham Magistrate's Court on February 14, 2023 if he wishes to dispute the punishment.
"It was one of those situations that you had to make a decision about, and I was 1.2 seconds too late going through a traffic light.
