That failure of planning is what you did wrong. Intent doesn't matter, if you don't plan for things like lights changing, you messed up.

I understand you couldn't see the light, and why you couldn't see it, obscured lights happen to everyone, especially with semis. But that means you better be prepared to stop at the light if needed when you can see it.
I'll admit, I've made the same mistake a couple times. But it *is* a mistake, no use defending it. I think the general idea of a ticket is to say "drive more carefully," and if you keep making mistakes your license is revoked. So it seems perfectly reasonable to me that you got a ticket.
Lesson: drive more carefully! :-)
