IMO you are unlikely to beat this one given that you were rolling the turn at 15mph a full 7/10 of a second after the change. Is the picture of you clear?

It seems somewhat unclear what the definition of "yield to pedestrians" is. In particular there...
There's a delay between deactivation of the yellow and the time that the red is steadily on. Even for the latest LED lamps it's 1/10 of a second or longer because they retrofit them into the old...
The requirement is that either all approaches to the photo-enforced intersection be posted, or that all major entrances to the city be posted. There's a lot of wiggle room in the second part of...
The city might have warning signs posted at all major entrances. That's allowed in lieu of a sign near every approach. You might first check if SF has such signs posted at major entrances before...
I would guess that the hood over the light was preventing the camera from getting a clear look at it before I'd guess the light was defective. That being said, what seems relevant is that the...
Interesting video. There's a noticeable lag between the time the yellow goes dark and the red is illuminated. Your car crossed the limit line before the red was illuminated. Therefore I agree with...
I took a look at the position of the first HOV sign, and you're right, it's well past the entrance, past the pedestrian crosswalk, and way past the beginning of the solid white line separating the...
You may also want to read the federal MUTCD, since the CA 2010 is, I think, just a list of additions and changes. With few exceptions the standards don't have the force of law.
I'm moderately...
The judge took $100 off the total fine. I ended up paying $403 including the court fees for traffic school, plus $20 for the on-line school itself. Judges aren't required to give you a break. I...
I agree. 911 is not always an option. Consider these cases:
1. You receive word that someone for whom you are the medical decision maker is on their way to the hospital, or already there. For...
Can we assume the officer who wrote your ticket didn't find the nature of your emergency convincing enough to escort you to the hospital or call an ambulance, but rather to delay you further by...
You've talked to your parents, right? Cuz it can't hurt your case, and after they get thru chewing you out, they may have some helpful advice. Plus, you might need one of them for your appearance...
The obvious gender difference should make it straightforward for your dad to beat the rap. I assume he doesn't want to schlep down to LA to appear in court. So a carefully-written TBD would have to...
It's if the front of your car crosses the line, I think.
Why not fight it in court? The officer may not show. If he doesn't, then don't accept any continuances, move to have the charges dismissed. If he does show up, what's he gonna say, that there were...
According to this:

Section 346.37 (on page 11) says:
(b) Yellow. When shown with or following the green, traffic facing a yellow signal...
And the sad part is...you might have made it had you sped up. I really hate these damned cameras, they create situations like the one you were in, with people jamming on the brakes in reaction to...
If you've not had a ticket in 18 months, traffic school is automatic if you plead guilty. If you contest the ticket and lose, it's up to the judge to grant traffic school, again assuming no tickets...
Even if it cycled after you went through, it could be considered defective if the induction loops aren't placed properly. At two lights near where I live the left-turn lane's forward sensor is...
Who gave you the ticket? One of the officers? Or a camera? In general, obeying directions from police officers directing traffic takes priority over signals and signs.
If you've had no other tickets in the past 18 months you should be automatically eligible for traffic school for a ticket of this sort. It can be done on-line. If you have had a ticket, it's up to...
Well, ThatGuy has a lot more experience apparently. Seems like he agrees that you should ditch the one-way road argument. You could file discovery requests as he says. A lot of hassle, tho, only...
Very interesting thanks, I can see exactly what you're talking about on Google Earth. So, based on what I'm seeing Vinton makes a "T" with Venice, you can't turn left because Venice is a divided...
