I was in an accident recently, I was sure my light was green but the lady says the same thing and because she has a witness they gave me the citation of running a red light. I didn't have a witness because the cars that were behind me just went around us which they wouldn't have been able to do if the light was red. It was in my girlfriends car insurance said it was totaled, I believe they've covered the others person's repairs and issued my girlfriend a check for whatever remained after paying off what she owed on her lease. My question is how should I handle this for myself? I was originally told not to pay the fine because that would be an admission of guilt but at this point I think everything is pretty much over right? Should I just pay what they're asking to avoid going to court and just attempt to have the citation deferred?
