Red light camera violation

[Andy1234]

I wanted to turn left and thought I am on left turn lane only. So as soon as left arrow green started I started driving to left and came to know I was in straight line when started. Camera flashed

I just received my California license 5 days back. What wi be consequences, will I get mercy if I plead and also county I was driving intially for 6 years was left lane driving so left was natural movement for me

Anything which will help me to save from paying big amount

You're not being clear - does this mean that the violation took place in California??

Just because you are licensed by California does not mean you are prohibited from driving in other states.

I believe the OP is from a different country (on that normally drives on the left side of the road), but now resides in CA.

I would suggest that the OP ought to take quite a few more lessons before unleashing his driving on the unsuspecting drivers in this state.

Yes I was driving in ca only.

Can I plead for mercy since I just received CA license and also history of driving is clear in another country

Yes. I just moved in CA one month back and cleared behind the wheel 5 days back.
My mistake didn't harm anyone and road was pretty clear. I was standing in straight lane and thought I was in left turn only lane and turned left

Anything I can do to lessen the 500 dollar or can I apply for no guilty tru by written.
Any chances of being successful

Your record is meaningless. Besides, how on Earth can you possibly prove that your driving record is clear in some foreign country?

Regardless, it all means nothing.

So you're saying it's okay to disobey steady red lights when the road is clear?

You are on camera. Unless the equipment malfunctioned you have no defense since the camera captured your wrongdoing.
