Got a ticket for running a yellow light
It was unsafe to brake and the light was yellow. Even my passenger said it was yellow. The officer said "from my vantage point it is red". I did not run a red light. I ran a yellow light simply because it was unsafe. Should I contest the ticket? The problem is that my passenger is from out of state and being in court as a witness is out of the question.

very difficult to fight if the officer shows up in court....even if you have a witness. The judge almost always side with the officer as long as he shows up. GL

It doesn't matter, most people don't realize this but sitting in the intersection during a green light awaiting an opportunity to turn, is against the law. You are required to wait at the line until an opportunity presents itself, than proceed through the entire intersection. This is actually enforced here where I live.
