If you were aware of the traffic law but mistakenly believe that your actions did not constitute a violation, pleading no contest or nolo contendere might be most suitable. However, if you knowingly ran the red light and wish to take responsibility for your actions, a guilty plea may be more appropriate.
A driver should always plead not guilty to a speeding ticket. Pleading guilty is not advisable because: It can lead to higher fines and/or insurance rates. It can add points to a driver's record, and accumulating enough points over time can lead to license suspensions.
