Hey all, I noticed this thread had over 700 views so I figure I should update it! So I had my trial today, and I was the only person on the roster to plead not guilty.

About the beacon, yes I should have clarified that it was counting down as I approached the intersection and turned yellow while turning, after the beacon hit zero. I only mentioned it to point out that I wasn't approaching a stale Amber, in which case it could have totally turned red and I'd surely...

Thanks, Bend. Fair enough. I was just wondering if failure to recollect these sorts of details would possibly be enough to make his observations doubtful in the eyes of a Justice of the Peace.

As it stands right now, I'll be following what you've said: file for Trial, await Notice of Trial, imm...
