ticket 21801(a) vc violation in CA

Hello,

I've got ticket 21801(a) vc violation .
I was trying to make safe left turn when cops pull me over. The opposing car was far enough and started to slow down either because driver saw a cop behind me or to let me finish my left turn.
I would appreciate any advice of how to fight this ticket.

Thank you.

Alex

21801. (a) The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left or
to complete a U-turn upon a highway, or to turn left into public or
private property, or an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction which are close
enough to constitute a hazard at any time during the turning
movement, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to the
approaching vehicles until the left turn or U-turn can be made with
reasonable safety.

Your post pretty much is the definition of Failure to Yield.
