I was ticketed for failing to clear a intersection ( running a red light)?

Question:
I made a judgement call and went during the amber like I tend to do rather than braking hard(40 mph speed limit). I want to go see the judge. The officer will not have any evidence and I didn't see any red as I past under to the best of my knowledge. I didn't even realize that I was being pulled over and for what for. Anybody have any suggestions.

Who knows a lot about cars?

From my experience, it has shown me that going against an officer of the law even with no evidence is a pretty rough hill to climb. I have been in a situation exactly like you described and came out on the short end. This happened in a small town where I used to live and it is pretty much your word against his/hers. I have seen a situation such as this go the opposite way or in your favor but I have only heard of it happening only once before. How much is the ticket? Honestly, if you want to get real particular about it..the rear end of your automobile must pass through the entire intersection before the light turns red. Maybe someone you know was in the area and was able to see if you actually amde it or not. I say just grin and bear it but if you do feel that you were not at fault...make a few calls and see what is truly available to you and see if anyone could help.

Intersection car accident.?

failing to clear an intersection is probably an ordinance violation (meaning no points off but the fine will stand) if he/she saw you run teh red light then you would of been in more trouble than what you are in now. If it is an ordinance violation you can't win.

Go before the judge and explain what happened, he might not charge you if you can convince him you are convinced you did nothing wrong.

How can a persons regular drivers license be suspended without suspending their CDL?

You do have the option of going to court. However, unless the stoplight has one of those cameras installed to flash when the light turns to red, you will have no evidence either. And the judge will side with the police officer. Fair or not, that is what will turn out as police officers are given more clout in a court of law than the accused. If there was no camera, i would advise not going to court as you will probably lose and then have to pay court fees on top of the citation. However, sometimes police officers don't show up to their court dates, since its not really mandatory for lesser offenses such as this and in that case you would win by default. But i wouldn't risk it, just chalk one up to the man and pay the fine.

Atempting to blame it on the fact that you didn''t want to slam on your brakes at 40mph seems silly. We both know traffic was heavy, and not moving more than 15 mph and you didn't want to be stuck behind the red light. So you did as SOME other people do and pulled forward as soon as you saw the light go amber.

Pay the ticket...it will cost way more to fight it, lost wages, etc. and you will still have to pay the ticket. Maybe you can take driving school to erase it. Civilian v. cop=judge picks cop.
