Contravening Signs
Oct 5, 2010
Dont believe everyhting you read online - unless its on Patterson Law !
Dear Sirs - my question is as follows:
I turned left at a crossroads with traffic lights that had a green arrow shaped green light and a round blue sign with a white arrow in (both straight) which as I now know means straight on only. So I turned left and 2 policemen saw on there mountain bikes.
This is apparently offence 169 and comes with a £60 fine and 3 points! Seem extremely harsh.
Therefore my question is; is this an endorsable offence?
Ive read online that failure to comply with a traffic or police sign is non-endorsable.

Im afraid its an offence of contravening a traffic sign and does carry 3 penalty points and a £60 fixed penalty.
Sorry but it is endorseable. Don't trust everything you read online - except the stuff on our site!!
