What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
22400(A) - Impede Traffic
I was trying to parallel park and another vehicle, attempting to take my spot, pulled right behind me. Not wanting my spot taken, I didn't move. She didn't move. (Parking is an absolute nightmare.) A cop came and cited me for impeding traffic. I've looked up the citation and have found that it may add a point to my driving record. Problem is, I work on an ambulance and another point will get me kicked off their insurance ... aka, out of a job. My question is, is this really a moving violation, since I was at a complete stop? Will I get a point on my record? Any advice? My court date is in a couple months.
This was late at night, light traffic -- but still a few cars. Four lane street (two each way).
Thanks. :/
