What is the name of your state? NY
Yesterday I received 2 moving violations.
1. for supposedly running a red light
-I'm almost positive it was a green. Of course yesterday was freezing cold temperatures and the top of my windshield was a little foggy so it could have changed to yellow and maybe red by the time I crossed it. But I'm almost positive it didn't have time to turn red if it was green when I saw it last.
and
2. For an illegal left turn (after supposedly running a red) at the same time.
Basically on my side there are 2 lanes: a turning lane and a 2nd lane that goes straight.
-I was in the 2nd lane, under the traffic light, at an intersection because traffic was stopped in front of my car. I didn't want to cause gridlock because the light had just changed and cars were coming my way. So I made the next safest move and turned left from my lane.
The cop didn't pull me over until about a block and a half later.
I've never had any tickets for any type of moving violations in the 9 years I have been driving. Anybody have suggestions on how I can fight this or what I can do to help my cause? Thanks for any advice!
