I just got a ticket from the police because I do a left turn on the yellow light... (Not exactly yellow light, start is green few second the light start to turn yellow to red). Do you think I should go to court ...

The yellow light means stop if safe to. If the coppa belives that you had sufficent time to stop, yes you should go to court

According to the safety and traffic rules, you're to get ready
to stop whenever you see a yellow light appearing at the traffic
lights. If you so happen to cross it while it's yellow (in your case,
it's disputable as the cop saw the yellow and gave you a ticket,
but you said it was still green), you should stop at the traffic
lights to be on the safe side.
You can take your case to the courts and argue about it.
But, your testimony against the cop's - will you win outright or
in the end still get the penalty? That's for you to find out.
Besides, unnecessary time spend in court and whether it is
worth it.
For me, I would just pay the fine without any hassle.

No, it would be costly. Call a lawyers office and ask their opinion. Lawyers are great about answering questions like these.
What you did is so iffy. People stair at that traffic light and do not look for that last guy to go. You could be in an accident if you are not careful. If the car ahead would have to stop on a dime, you could kill somebody or be disabled yourself. Driving is a privilege and you must see it as such. Think of your car as a loaded gun and treat it as such. The car can kill just as fast as a bullet. Good luck and please be careful. my grandchildren may be in the car ahead of you.

first of all, even in case your hubby's bumper comes with a mild is beside the point. that is the regulation that there is to be a mild to mild up the vehicle plate and in case you do not have one, you want to get one. Secondly, the officer had adequate genuine looking suspicion to tug you over for the double lane go (already adequate for the vehicle plate mild, or lack thereof). even even though it became 9 miles (in accordance to you) there are quite some issues that an officer checks over his radio earlier to polishing off a site visitors stop (if he has time). he will run your vehicle plate or perhaps the license of the registered proprietor to confirm what he might want to be dealing with earlier to the site visitors stop for his protection. possibly because you've been on a highway that became a lot less traveled, he would were checking to confirm how far yet another officer would were to assist him. in case you experience that his utilising became irrelevant you may want to contact his manager, yet because you in basic terms were given a caution, i'd call it even and enable or not that is.

Yes. Go to court and dispute it. Sometimes with tickets like this, the officer that gives them don't even show up.
If the officer doesn't show up, then it will be thrown out.

No, if the officer shows up you have no chance of winning.
