I did told the police officer that I never had a ticket before, and my driver record is good, he said if I had let you go with a warning then others will keep driving thru the yellow light... It don't make no sense cause others still do so have I from time to time, this is the first time I ever got pulled over for driving thru a yellow light...
In SC traffic court, if you plead "guilty" to a non-accident violation, the judge usually reduces your fine about 1/2, and the points are dropped or reduced. That is the reason many people here prefer to just plead guilty. The judge prefers that way too, because he can clear 20 cases in about five minutes.prostock19 said:... Last ticket I got was 3 1/2 years ago, I plead Guilty, and got off because of Good Driving Record (3+ years without a violation). I've 'terped for a friend twice and both times, she plead guilty (Both RI and MA) and she got off with just court costs on the RI one and nothing on the MA one...
Banjo said:Oh yeah, it's not everyday that a cop give somebody a ticket for going through a yellow light. But it legally can be done since it is against the rules of the road to go through a yellow light unless you cannot stop fast enough to arrive at the lights. But most people do it anyway.
Also people who are making attempts to turn left are allowed to turn on yellow light which could be why it's illegal for people to drive through the yellow light so enough time are given to these drivers to make the turn. Personally.

DeafVeggie said:Don't forget that after reducing the fine, your record goes right on the DMV! Then, your insurance goes up! Do Do? Don't appeal the judge. Pay the full fine. Attend a traffic school. Then, your record won't show up on the DMV if you don't get another ticket within 18 months!
If you think traffic school is dry and bored, think again. Come to Monrovia, CA with the State permission for you to attend at the ALL traffic school. I resides in Utah and got ticket in Arizona. Arizona requires 8 hours. Utah only offers 6 hours. Arizona said either I come on the way to Arizona to attend THEIR class or simply pay the fine and enjoy a spat on my record. I told them that I prefer to attend a deaf class in CA which it offers 8 hours course. Arizona accepted it. WaaYoo!! There at the CA deaf class of about 33 students, I had so much fun meeting all of the deaf friends! Lecture? Nope. Dry? Nope. Movie? Nope. Internet online class? Nope. Taking test? Nope. Boring? Nope. Plenty of deaf fun mudslings? Yep (alot)!
What was the class all about? The teacher just ask us few questions like as what's your name, where you from, why did you receive a ticket, and how did you correct the problem. Since there were 33 students in the class, the teacher ask each of them to answer the questions. But, after every student answered the question....ya know deaf culture, plenty of fun mudslings from other students attacking and making fun at that student. After 10th student, we took a morning break at 10 AM (class started at 8 AM). After 15th student, we took lunch break. After 25th student, we took afternoon break. Finally at 33th student, class dismissed at 4 PM! But, we mostly stayed outside of the classroom to chat more until the sun goes down!
