Glad everyone ended up OK.

A couple of points...

What triggers airbags is not just speed or where the impact is, there are a lot of variables involved and the airbag unit takes all of them into consideration to determine if the airbags should be deployed or not.

Also, you got the ticket because she was in the intersection before the light turned. Regardless of if the light was red for her and green for you, she entered the intersection before the light changed and has the right of way to complete her turn before you were to enter. You're very lucky that's all you were ticketed for, you obviously had time to react appropriately, ramming someone's car because they didn't get out of your way is not appropriate. It doesn't matter why she was still in the intersection, the accident was avoidable and it was caused by your actions, not hers.

Honestly, I'm surprised nobody else has commented on your irresponsible action, you could have killed someone.
