    Default Cited for Speeding, Resisting Officer, Running Red Light

    I think i am in big problem without a cause.
    I was driving in North Carolina in A highway when i saw other car making u-turn from other direction of highway. The car was right at my tail so i thought i will let him go. so i increased the speed and came to the right lane so that the car can go ahead on left lane but it came to the right lane as well and right in my tail. there was a traffic light ahead so as i was in speed and the car was right in my tail so i didn't stopped the car afraid of being hit if i make sudden stop and thus crossed the red light.
    Later just before the next light, i came to know that that car was a cop car following me and i stopped for him. but i couldnt hear any siren or light flashing before. And like this i got charged for overspeeding, running the red light and resisting an officer.
    i have a clean record and this was my first time in this situation.

    can anyone please suggest me what should i do?

    i am worried..

    thanks
