Fail To Stop At A Red Light
Hello;
I am looking for advice on how my hubby should proceed with a ticket he recieved for a fail to stop at a red light ticket.
He was in his fuel truck and approaching a light doing 45kms an hour, he was fully loaded. The light turned yellow and he proceeded through believing his truck would be sitting in the intersection if he tried to stop. He entered the intersection while the light was yellow and his trailers were still in the intersection when it turned red.
The police officer pulled him over and he explained why he went through the light, the officer called him liar and told him there was no way he was doing 45 and he could have stopped.My hubby apologized and said that if he attempted to stop his truck would have blocked the intersection the officer said i doubt that and asked for his log books. He said my logs are digital, the officer questioned him about his log books, he explained that the mto is able to access his computer. The officer asked for a print out but he is unable to do so. At this point the officer was yelling at him and demanded his license and registration. At this point my hubby apologized to the officer who clearly seemed frustrated and once again explained about the light and apologized. The officer returned to his car and came back 15 mins later with a ticket.
I truely believe we should fight this ticket, i was wondering what kind of advice anyone has for us, and how should we proceed.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reply!
