So last night I was driving my girl and a friend home from a party in Ithaca, NY and I was leaving through the main entrance to my college. It's a shallow downhill about a tenth of a mile or so into a traffic light on a four-lane road. Sure enough, the light was yellow and I needed to make a left. Now, my confidence in my car's handling skills made me go for it despite my passengers' wishes. I got to the light, which I thought changed as I entered the intersection, made the left and proceeded on my way. Then I noticed the festival of lights in my rearview mirror. I guess a cop was coming to the intersection heading the same direction I intended to go on the four lane road.
I got a "Failure to follow traffic control device" ticket. He said he was cutting me a break cause I was going pretty fast into and out of the intersection and that the light was red before I made it.
Does anyone know how much of a fine this ticket is in upstate NY? Not sure If I should fight it.
