I’ve just been flashed on Melton Road EML008 red light camera. I am unaware why? I was waiting at the traffic light at red, the light then turned green... once the light turned green I accelerated forward and the light flashed. I am not aware why the light had flashed? I was within the speed limit and the light was green.
