Worry W over a red light fine Q I WWAS stopped in front of a red traffic light, but an ambulance needed to get past me, so I had to pull out and make way for it. A red light camera caught both of us. Will I get a fine, and if I do, can I appeal? Rob Robbie Turner, E-mail A IF you do get a fine sent to you it’s worth tryin trying to appeal it because there will be evi evidence that you moved out of the way for an ambulance. However, you should have sta stayed put, because emergency vehicle dri drivers are trained to manoeuvre around you. Do I need to replace pump? Q MY SEAT Leon is due to have its cambelt replaced and I’ve just been told that I should change the water pump in the car, too. Am I being taken advantage of by the garage or is this necessary? Lawrence Schneider, E-mail A WATER pumps need periodic replacement as well, and it’s advisable to have it done at the same time as the cambelt. The labour costs for both jobs are high, and because they’re located close to one another, it makes sense to replace them at the same time.
