Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey
how to defend going through a yellow light
What's the best defense for getting a
ticket for ''speeding up through a yellow
light'' - PS. The light was green when I
approached the intersection. It turned
yellow in the middle and just kept my
speed up to get through it.

Re: how to defend going through a yellow light
The defense must be that you were operating your vehicle at a lawful speed and that given the position of you vehicle in relation to the intersection you could not safely
stop your vehicle prior to entering the intersection so that you had no choice but to drive through the intersection.
Call me if you like.

Your best defense may be to get an attorney to help you. Going up against the Prosecutor and the Cop by yourself could be very difficult.
