Lets hope its only a fine. Whatever the punishment, I will accept. Thank you! I totally understand and I wouldn't expect any sympathy for what I did. Sorry you had to witness that.

Thank you! You are so extremely helpful. Do you reckon I risk being given more than just points + fine? Sorry if I come across as really panicky but this is my first job out of University and it is dependant on me having a driving license. Also, I have spoken with my Fleet department and...

I’m just worried that I will receive a ban or something serious.

Thank you for the reponse! I will speak to the fleet department in the morning and give them a heads up, I agree. From your experience, is it likely that I will just get a fixed penalty + points? Do I need to worry about potential driving ban or substantial fine? Many thanks

I totally understand. I am 100% at fault for this and as you've said, a lot of people here work in the industry and have probably seen incidents due to reckless behaviour. If it is picked up by the signaller, what can he do?

There was no camera or anyone else, this was at very early hours in the morning. There is however a CCTV camera.

Hi all, first of all I would like to make it clear that I am 100% disappointed in myself for doing what I have done but at the time, I did not fully grasp the dangers of my actions. This morning I ran through a level crossing as it was flashing amber and I am sure it started flashing red once I...
