What is the name of your state?
MI
I was cited for running a flashing red light at night after bringing a loved one to the emergency room. I thought I was coming to a complete stop, but the comment was that i drove through it at 20 mph. I was so distressed about my situation with the family emergency, and the officer obviously saw that I was falling apart over a loved one possibly dying, yet issued the ticket anyway. Can I at least mention these extenuating circumstances to get my fine reduced and how many points would that be on my license?
It was my first traffic citation.
