JNugent gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying:

Approaching a set of lights which turn amber just before we reach them
is a very common experience. It is remarkable that there is no ready
case-law on the topic.

There is.

Passing through the lights once they've gone red is an absolute offence.
Passing through the lights at amber is not an offence, but is strongly
discouraged by "best practice", as codified in the Highway Code.

What is so ****ing difficult to comprehend about that?
