What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Bensalem, PA
Sunday Morning around 2:30AM I was pulled over for failure to stop at a steady red signal. The driving conditions that morning were not typical, we recently had some snow which turned to ice later Saturday/Early Sunday. By the time that light went to red I had to make a split second decision slam on my brakes and possibly hit black ice and slide into the intersection which may have caused an accident or harm someone or step on it. By the time I was in the middle of the intersection, all lights were red so it was not as if I ran the red light when the other side had the green. Anyway long story short, $111 fine plus X amount of points. I talked to two police officers in surroinding philadelphia area and was informed that I did make a good decision but it still is what it is but if there were there they would of not wrote me the ticket. How likely am I to beat this ticket if I go to court?
Also if I was to slide into that intersection and hit the police car what additional charges could have been brought upon to me?
