Failing to conform to a traffic sign (red light) is an offence under Road Traffic Act 1988 and one which requires the authorities to serve you with a written Notice of their Intention to prosecute for this offence within 14 days (excluding the date of the offence.) If they dont do this then they cannot convict for the offence.
You were not stopped. Had you been so then they are required to give the NOIP verbally.
You do not know if it was camera activated signal, so calculate 15 days from the occurrence and if nothing received in the post then stop sweating.
If it was camera activated you will receive within the time limit above a
Notice of Intended Prosecution and
A request, if you are the Reg Keeper of the vehicle, under S 172 RTA 88 to named the driver of the vehicle. You have to do this and return within 28 days otherwise they will take you to Court for this offence.
If you name yourself as driver, which appears to be the case, then with a clean Licence you will be given a Conditional Offer i.e. Pay £60 and get 3 points on your Licence - matter over..
