A few years ago I was done for not obeying fixed signals. My front
wheels were about 18 inches over the white line, when I contested in
court that I hadn't gone through the junction, I was pointedly asked,

Sorry, I wouldn't even have bothered contesting it. At least with
speeding you have to be doing significantly over the limit before you
get done - with traffic lights there's a line in the sand.
