    Default Running a Stop Light

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Missouri

    I was stopped at a red light and waiting for a semitruck and trailer to go through the light when my foot came off the brake and I went alittle way in the intersection. I stopped and waited for the semi to go in front of me and for the light to turn green. I then proceded through the light. The officer pulled me over and said I ran the red light. I told him how could I run the light when I had a semi in front of me. He told me I crossed the white line and was in the intersection. I then said I didn't see a white line. It was almost 9:00p.m. and the pavement wet from snow. By the way the police officer was in the right lane and I'm in the left lane. When I advanced forward I could still see his car, beside me. This is a close intersection and if you are too far out in it the front of your car will be hit. The semi's have to use both lanes to make the turn. Thanks for you help.

    Show up for court and contest the ticket. There really isn't much else to do for it.
