Hmmm
She pulled you over for going through an amber light? Perfectly within your rights, accelerating or not, "if the amber light appears you may go on only if you have already crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to stop might cause a collision."

Tsk.

Correct
(hence my 'road was damp, didn't feel it was safe to break heavily' excuse). But she was absolutely right in stopping me. It changed to amber whilst I was quite some distance away, I knew this particular set of lights took ages to change, so I put my foot down to get through whilst it was still amber (was almost certainly red by the time I'd completed my crossing).

I was wrong, she was right. If she'd been on a shout coming across the crossroads I was crossing, she quite possibly would have hit me (according to her). However I did say that there was a fair chance I would have heard her siren, assuming she had it on.

I'm on her side.
