Ran red light....?

Beat Red light by a second

Hi all,

I beat a red light by microseconds (barely even 1 second as far as I can remember). I was on Mountbatten Road and approaching the junction of Tanjong Katong Road. Was cruising at about 55ish to 60km/h. As I approach the junction, it was still green. As I was crossing the middle arrow, the 2nd arrow from the stop line, the light turned amber. **The last time I check the rear view mirror, there was a car behind me**. So since I am crossing the second arrow and braking will definitely roll the car out from the stop line (Floor was wet as there was a small drizzle), I floored the accelerator to clear the junction. To my horror, the light turned red just about half a meter before my front wheel crosses the stop line. Jaming brake will be too dangerous from the road conditions and distance from stop line (above second arrow when amber). I remember my driving instructor told me as long as you clear the second arrow or crossing it, accelerate as you are committed to clear. Hmm what are the chances peeps? Still P plate here and I'm really demoralized from this incident. Couldn't brake as too risky and couldn't clear it IN TIME despite the flooring ):

there is no red light camera there, you can go check all fixed cameras are listed (straightstimes has a map)

Red light at jalan membina

hi bros, just wanna ask a quick question as this is my first time experiencing this incident. On new year 2020 it was 1st JAN, around 2+am, i am driving down from safra telok blangah and i am living at kim tian road. So there is a straight road down all the way to my house, when i am 3/4 otw home, there was this big junction with red light camera along jalan membina. Anw, when i was nearly reaching the junction the traffic light decided to turn amber and just nice when my front tyre cross the stop line by a bit, it turn red. I decided to went through it as i thought its safe, i was not sure if there is any flash therefore i am super worried now. I have been checking on Eddies, LTA, AXS machine, till now still nothing. Literally praying everyday lol. Anyone able to give me advice? really appreciate it !!
