I was driving northbound on Hwy 101, took the exit ramp, came to an interection. The sign read no turn on red. I waited until the light turned green and proceeded to make a right turn.
I was pulled over by a local policeman. He claimed I turned against a red light. I asked how he could know this as there was no traffic behind me. He told me he was proceeding eastbound from the freeway overpass toward the intersection I was at, and that his light was green, so therefore my light must have been red. My passenger in the car recalls a light turning green. Furthermore there was traffic entering the intersection in our direction.
The officer said that I must have mistaken a green light which allows traffic to exit an adjacent parking lot (parking lot is on the left of the offramp) into that intersection.
My driving record has been very good over the years, and I feel this ticket was unjustified. Do I have any grounds to fight it, seeing as the officer did not see that our light was red, and also due the the confusing nature of this intersection?
