Contravening Signs

I have no recollection of the light being on red and was totally unaware it was an offence to go through on amber.  I have recieved the conditional offer and it states on the letter that i failed to comply with the red automated traffic signal by 1.1 second.  I am not too sure what I could have done in 1.1 second to prevent going through.  Is there any grounds for appeal on this as it is only 1second?

I comitted the offence but there are mitigating circumstances involved. 1. I am not familiar with the area in question and was following my SAT/Nav. 2. There were 2 other cars ahead of me committing the same offence but I was the only one stopped. 3. 2 other cars who later committed the same offence were not stopped. The Police told me that it was "SODS LAW" that I was stopped and that the otheres were not. And that they were having trouble with this turn for months. They also told me that I would recieve 6 points on my licence. My licence has been clean for the last 13 years ad I have never commited any trafic offences before. I am due before the magistrates on x and would ask if I should plead not guilty or accept the penalty, wich would probably be a fine and 6 points. This will effect my employment and my future status as a disabled driver.

I have been issued with a PCN relating to (if you have heard of on it on the BBC News) Wilton Road, Victoria in London.
As I approached the junction, there were sudden signs ahead indicating no right turn. I had already decided to turn right and it was confusing and dangerous for me to suddenly decide to go straight ahead as I should have done.
I soon found out cabbie from that a camera had been enforced and I would definitely get a a ticket.
Exactly a week later, going through the same route a second time, I noticed mammoth notices of road closure ahead including one of a camera enforcement.
Should there legally have been a notice to the public about a camera in action?

I was driving my taxi and stopped at a zebra crossing to allow a pedestrian to cross the road. She showed no signs that she needed a taxi. As she began to cross the road she looked at me and gestured as if to say "are you available for hire?". I nodded but pointed to her further down the street past the zigzags. She just opened my cab door and got in. As I pulled away the traffic police car (which I had been aware of the whole time) pulled me over, sent my passenger away and gave me a fixed penalty notice of £60 and three points. When I protested that I am well aware of the law regards zigzags but felt I had no other option in this case. He told me I should have told her to get back out, drive 5 yards further down the road and pick her back up again then I would not have got any points. I feel hard done by but feel I have two traffic cops word against mine and they sent my only witness away. I believe there is a video recording of the incident on the traffic police cars dashboard camera so this might help. Do you think I have a chance of fighting this successfully? Thanks
