        But you weren't speeding, you ran a red light?

        Sounds like a stitch up.

            A speed awareness course isn't a speed limit awareness course, and driving within the speed limit isn't the same thing as driving at a safe speed.

              I think the speed limit at red lights is around 0 mph.

                got a letter in post asking for drivers details from the police

                Does anyone know hpow many points the MET Police give for a redlight offence?
                Are you sure it was you driving?

                Edit: oops too late you paid the voluntary tax
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  So there was no amber light warning you the lights were going to change? In that case it's not a proper traffic light according to the regulations, and you're home free.
