How best to defend against CRS 42-4-703 charges depends on the available evidence, which typically includes surveillance video and eyewitnesses. But in general, four possible defense arguments are: 1) There was an emergency which made failing to yield the reasonable thing to do. (An example may be making way for an emergency vehicle or eluding a falling tree branch, as long as the defendant did exercise due care otherwise.) 2) The police officer made an error and cited the wrong motorist. 3) Another driver falsely accused the defendant. 4) The driver was following a traffic control signal instructing him/her to keep driving without stopping.
