Yes, because conditions were such that you should have been more
observant. You saw the car slipping and sliding and yet you STILL took
the light because it was green. You clearly were not paying attention.

Certainly, but so what? The cop has to charge somebody, and teh guy
who slid through the light was the easy choice. That  still doesn't
mean you weren't just as responsible. That only means you got off
lucky.
