sfbay: traffic ticket

Hi,

I am looking for any experience with traffic tickets. Apparently I
crossed a flashing red light, although I could have sworn it was yellow.
But red is bad, and if it is flashing and you cross it it's like running
a red light. So I got a ticket for close to $400 altogether (which I
find outrageous, because what I did was perfectly safe in my judgement),
and apparently have to go to traffic school to wipe my record clean.

I am wondering whether it is worth fighting the ticket in court,
pretending that I saw a yellow light, not a red one. But I might just
bite the bullet and pay the fine. Has anyone been to traffic school? Any
experiences that make this less painful?

thanks for sharing your stories.

nico
