Here's the situation. I am in CA, one day I was in a 25 miles zone, came to a traffic light, as soon as I almost arrived at the traffic light, I saw the light changed to yellow, so I hit the break, slow down to about 6-8 miles and made the right turn. I was still slowing down while I was making the right turn. Traffic light turned red while I was making right turn and the car on the other side of the traffic light came at full acceleration, so I had to pull over to let him pass, as soon as he pass me, a cop came from behind to pull me over, said I didn't make a stop making a right turn at a red light and gave me a ticket. I tried to explain to him but of course, he did not listen. About 3 weeks later, I got the notice from the Superior Court, this ticket will cost me $365.00!!! This is outrageous, so I am planning to apear at the court to dispute this. Can you help me? Do I have any chance to win this one or at least any better way to make them think I was right? By the way, I took the traffic class less than 18 month ago, so paying this ticket and go to traffic school to remove 3 points in not an option. Thanks a lot!!!
