An OAP could be hit with a 'reprehensible' punishment after he ran a red light while slowing down to allow an ambulance to pass him.
Frank Wallington, 76 of Walsall was driving home to the West Midlands after attending his cousin's funeral when he pulled over to let an ambulance through on the A52 in Nottinghamshire.
However, his good willed gesture resulted in him being given a £100 fine and three points on his licence after he made the 'split-second decision' to run a traffic light 1.2 seconds after it turned red, Nottinghamshire Live reports. The 76-year-old had pulled over on the A52 Grantham Road approaching the traffic light junction at Cropwell Road in Radcliffe on Trent, which merges the two lanes.
