What is the name of your state?MD
Is there anything I can do about this? I was coming home late last night and got lost in the city (DC). I came up to 2 lights at one intersection. One light was a turn arrow and the other was a regular light. My friend told me he thought I needed to turn right. I pulled up to the light and stopped. The main light was red and the turn light which as I said is separate was green. My friend said look the other light is green so you can make the turn. Right after I realized he was right the light began to turn yellow. I started to make the turn then hit the brakes hesitating slightly...then decided to make the turn. I think in this process as I hesiatated when I was under the light it turned red. A police officer immediately pulled me over. Any thoughts...or do I just plead guilty with an explanation? As always thank you for any insight.
