What is the name of your state? california
Is this a valid arguement? After coming to a complete stop at the intersection I started to make a left turn on my motorcycle. While I was leaning into the turn a pedestrian stepped into the crosswalk. I was too late to safely stop in time, so I cleared the cross walk so they could pass. I was cited by the officer for Failure to yield to pedestrian, I don't believe this to be a valid ticket. Do I have a legitiment arguement here? Hitting the brakes while in the middle of a turn could cause the bike the become unstable and fall over. I was concern about this as well as for the passenger on the back of the motorcycle. The ticket is also dated wrong. This happened on 9/13/07' @ 11:20pm, the ticket was dated wrongly by the officer 9/14/07' @ 11;20pm does this make any difference or perhaps maybe even void this ticket?
