What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My cousin asked me to help him with this. He received his first ever traffic ticket for failure to yield - VA code 46.2-804. However, when I looked up that code, it does not correspond to failure to yield. It corresponds to regulations applicable on highways laned for traffic (such as failure to obey highway marking).
Is there any reason as to why the police officer might have written the incorrect code on the ticket? Can my cousin use this to get the charges dropped? How can he make a proper plea if the code number contradicts the description?
Thanks in advance for the help.
