I received a ticket in NY for failing to signal lane change. Is there any procedure a cop must follow in order to ticket for failing to signal lane change?? ...like check to see if my turn signal was working?
I borrowed the car I was driving and the turn signal wasn't working. There was no way I could've signaled. Shouldn't the cop have asked to see if they were working?
Also, that lane change happened to be an emergency lane change because I got cut off. In order to avoid the car I changed lanes rapidly...it's also the reason i believe the cop targeted me.
Another problem is that on the ticket itself the last letter of the violation code is unclear. The code that the cop meant to charge me with was 1163 D. The ticket says 116 and the last letter is unclear.
What is my best defense? Thanks.
