r/Pensacola

I accidentally ran the light near the Whataburger coming into Gulf Breeze from 98, and the road was wet from the sprinklers on the side of the road.I tried to stop but my wheel slipped so I let off the break and just as soon as I came to thick white line the light turned red and I couldn't stop so I would just went through it I turned around and took pictures of the road conditions after. I can't tell if it actually flashed me or not though.

(It was 11 at night and I was doing the speed limit)

A friend of mine got a red light ticket from the Pensacola PD. The photo they sent her shows her running a yellow light. It's her second red light ticket and the fine is pretty hefty. I've never been to traffic court in the South. Up north, anyone in traffic court had a chance to meet with a prosecutor and plea bargain it down or ask them to dismiss it. Then, we would go before a judge and get a ruling. I have no idea how it works here. She's on a fixed income and the fine could be pretty tough on her. I don't really have any idea what to expect when we go in there in a few weeks. Any light you could shed on the situation is greatly appreciated.
