Failure To Stop - Amber Light
Hi - I was looking for some advise for the above speeding ticket I got this afternoon. I was travelling in Newmarket on Davis drive making a left hand turn onto Bathurst. The office pulled me over for failing to stop on the yellow light. I told her I did not feel I could stop safetly, as it was snowing lightly, the ground was slick and I drive a mini van. I made the decision to go thru the yellow light because I did not think I could make the stop properly. She begged to differ and said I could have stopped, and that I did not even try. I replied of course I did not try, I used my best judgment to proceed to turn thru the yellow light.
I was wondering what the York Region Courthouse is like? I have only ever gotten 2 other tickets in my driving life! I paid both of them in full as I was wrong. But I really don't think I am wrong this time. Could I have tried to stop, probably, would I have been successful - I don't know....but I thought what I did was correct in the circumstance.
Should I fight this ticket? Any advise??
Thanks!
