Should I Fight This Ticket
Last week I was driving though downtown and because of the slippery / wet conditions could not stop when the light was turning yellow to red and slid in to the intersection. I was hit by another car (near the headlamp). None of us were injured, there was significat damge to the cars. The air bags did not deploy.
I was given a ticket that reads : Red Light - fail to stop - H.T.A sect 144 (18) Fine set at $260 and total payable $ 320.
Should I fight the ticket on :
a) grounds that the roads were wet and slippery with the duration for amber to red being short.
b) the car air bags did not deploy
or
c) is the wrong amount of fine reasone enough for following the "improper ticket" route ?
thanks
