While you do not give the exact reasons you feel your ticket was unfair, a simple answer is yes. Sometimes fighting a red light ticket is the smartest thing to do. Here are some reasons you might want to consider doing so:
- A red light camera was the source of the ticket. Red light cameras, when they are working properly, can be an effective and accurate way of issuing tickets. However, malfunctions do happen, and the information these cameras record can be challenged.
- The road conditions were poor. If, for example, the streets were icy and you slid into the intersection, then you can claim that you were not at fault.
- An accident occurred. If you encountered another vehicle in the intersection and a wreck was the result, you could be facing all kinds of trouble, including possible lawsuits and serious damage to your driving privileges. In many cases like this, the best thing you can do is to contact a traffic violation attorney.
- You had a very good reason for entering the intersection on red. It is possible to argue this point. For example, if another vehicle was tailgating you and stopping would certainly result in a rear-end accident, you may have a good case. There are many other circumstances in which you might want to consult a traffic violation attorney.
