What were road/traffic conditions like?
Perhaps if they were benign, a judge might like upon the case a little more favourably.
If you were already in the intersection, did you clear it in a hasty, yet safe, manner?
That too helps your case.
Not sure about down there, but if you fight it, a cop, unless he's a real hard-ass, will typically try to plea bargain with you right before your case is heard. Judges often convict you of a lesser charge for your trouble.
