Help! First time traffic violation in Reston

I'm trying to decide what to do in the situation I've found myself in.
Friday night in Reston, maybe 11:30 PM I went through the left turn at the intersection of Sunset Hills Rd/ Reston Parkway. The light was a yellow left arrow when I turned, and I did speed up a bit to try and make the light. It turned to a red arrow while I was still making the turn and in short order I was pulled over and given a ticket/ citation for 46.2-833, "Fail to obety traffic light."
I am 31 years old, male, no prior tickets or offenses. All my registration, inspection etc is current and the cop was suprisingly polite.
So to those who've had a similar situation- is it easier to pay the ticket and take the points on my license? I have 1 positive point from not getting tickets, so this would put me at 3 points instead of the 4 that the ticket warrants.
Or, should I try and find a lawyer and see if it is possible to get it reduced? In turn pay legal fees, etc but possibly not have to deal with points and potential insurance rate hike?
Any takers?

Go to court, tell them you were contemplating your penis (or vagina) and your transgender feelings. Not only will you walk, but you'll get to use a special bathroom in the courthouse from now on.

ALWAYS GO COURT!
I went to court on the same thing. I told the judge "I didn't feel I could safely stop so I had to go through it." The judge dismissed the points and I paid a reduced fine.

Just pay the fucking ticket you pussy, and put on some clean panties.
Not like you got a DWI or speeding to elude.
God help us if you are an example of the next generation of men that this country has produced.

This is exactly what police want.
They write tickets and nobody contests them. Go to court!

This stupid fuck lives in Reston. To take the day off from work, and drive to Fairfax City and pay for parking plus gasoline it is just not worth the effort. It is cheaper to just pay the ticket and be done with it. It is assholes like you that clog the courts with your "Mr.Know It All" court actions.

Right. But what about insurance hikes that equal what I pay to be done with or/ reduce the ticket? That happens too.

sure. only moving violations get points. and going through a yellow turning red (assuming you weren't being reckless about it)
should be -1 pt. that's what it used to be
your being hosed. your being bullshitted.

the fee for minor violations such as that had been:
about $25 , if you pre-paid

please someone prove me wrong on that ...
points were only for moving violations - and the lesser of them were: 1 pt.

If you can schedule it, go to court. The prosecutor might want to save time, and cut you a deal where you pay the $$$, but don't get any points.
I got a 43-in-a-25 ticket years ago, and showing up to court probably saved me a few hundred dollars in the long haul.

I would go to court. I red light violation is subjective. The judge has probably missed a redlight or two. He'll probably throw it out.
No lawyer needed. Just yourself. You have nothing to lose by going to court.
