i was driving like 60-70 km/h on steeles just going by brimely
just when i was approaching brimely and steeles it changed to yellow i had no choice cause my stupid el brakes sucks.. so i just stepped on it and pass it but then notice a cop behind me he pulls me over saying i ran a red light

Just explain to the JP how your brakes were bad and that you were unable to stop in time. I'm sure the JP will understand

When he'll ask why are you driving an unsafe vehicle.

the fact that you saw the light turn yellow and then you punched the gas to "beat" it clearly says that you had enough time to stop for it

I think you're only option is to be honest, and tell them that you're in a tough situation, and can't afford this on your record.

Or you can always call those Ticket Agency's to fight it for you.

I have the same ticket and got it the same way that you did. I am going to go to the ticket guys pay 300 and get the points knocked off. Some times just for bringing a lawyer the JP will dismis the ticket. For me i ran the light and the cop lost sight of me i turned left and he did not see me. After i came back on the main road he pulled me over and gave me a ticket for running the red light but he was not sure that it was me that ran the light. So i might get off beceuse he lost sight of me and he was not sure. Take it to a lawyer if the points are what you are worried about a lawyer will do that for you and tell them that you are poor to the fine will be knocked down to. What ever you do dont lie and be honest.

Don't run reds! TRY to stop and they'll see you put effort in to it and probably give you a break and make fun of your car...
Just because the "camera" is there it doesn't mean the camera is in the box. They move them around the city. it's stupid but they do. You can't tell them to check it. They won't do it.
Talk to the JP or hire the ticket guys... FTW
