I entered on the yellow (amber) and it turned red while I was running it. Yes, I probably did speed up but I figured I had enough time to make it through. I was charged with "red light. failed to stop". Does that clarify it? What would your next course of action be?

Just to clarify... Even though it was a yellow light when I started and then turned red, I really have no defense?

I ran through an amber light (thinking I had enough time and could make it safely across) but hit the red 10 feet away. Unfortunately there was a police officer there to view this event who proceeded to give me a ticket. I thought I could make it across (144 (15) states to proceed with caution if it...
