Think I can get out of this ticket?

Got a ticket for "disreguarding a redlight". I was turning right onto the main highway and had a deticated turning lane, I'm the blue line in the picture. There is no white line and no yield sign. The lane is seperated from the rest of the lines by a solid white line, and on the other side of the red light on the main highway the outside lane is strictly for turning onto the smaller highway (what I was turning off of).



I'm going to talk to the judge, I think I am in the right here.

Re: Think I can get out of this ticket?

Take some pictures of the area (especially showing no signs), and bring them to court. If there isn't any sign indicating that you did something illegal, it should get thrown out. It's illegal to cross a solid white line, so the people in the other lane couldn't legally change into the one you were in. So it doesn't seem like it was illegal to me.

Re: Think I can get out of this ticket?

Maybe the cop is a dumbass. There is a road like that where I live and I always take the turn at like 30mph... Too bad you have to waste your time going to court or whatever... should get thrown out. Just take a photo of the area like CivicSpoon said.

Fortunately for you, it's that easy.... I've got one for 79 in a 40.... My luck there is not that easy.

Get a good lawyer. I had a 79 in a 65, and my lawyer got it dropped to a non-moving violation. Cost me $125, and that went right to my lawyer.

Re: Think I can get out of this ticket?

She looked it up and he hasnt turned the ticket in yet. But she went ahead and put in my not guilty plea and I get to go to court in 5 months or so. He said he would look at it before he turned the ticket in, so maby he accually did- might possably be the first time in history a trooper accually did check himself to make sure he was right.
