What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Washington, D.C.
Hi All, Thanks for reading....
I received a T058 "Failure to keep in proper lane" citation. The area in question (west bound on calvert at connecticut if it matters), has a straight-only lane and a right-only lane.
Because the straight-only lane had a bus covering the arrow on the ground and the right-only lane's right arrow is almost completely faded I didn't realize I was in a right-only lane at first. When I did realize it, I changed lanes into the straight-only lane - which is what I received the ticket for.
I think I might be able to protest based on the poor markings on the road, but my question is actually about an error on the citation. The office wrote on it "sign posted L turn lane only", but there is in fact no left-only lane where I was - only a straight-only and right-only.
Is that reason alone to get the citation thrown out? How would I word my statement protesting it? Is it worth doing discovery to see what he wrote in his notes?
Thanks again,
