Finding my way around Belfast - Potential Pickle

Desmond79
2 months ago

I was heading to the Ormeau Road, from the M2, and ended up towards East Belfast; having been on the wrong lane at the end of a one-way. Then, when negotiating my way back, I may have cut past a red light.

God willing, I wasn't caught on camera. However, I did panic. Though I found my way, eventually. 

How may I address the issue, with my solicitor, should I receive a Police Warning, in relation? Would it be possible to plead mitigating circumstances, due to diminished responsibility?

    If you were driving with diminished responsibility then you probably shouldn't have been driving at all - I don't think that will work as an excure and may even result in you recieving a ban for driving knowingly I'm afraid.

    At worst you are likely to get a fine and points on your license and at best there was no working camera there so in your situation I would just wait and see if you get a letter then see what the options are. You normally get a month to pay the fine or submit a challenge I think.
