Question

Ticket Troubles


What is the name of your state? Georgia

Here's the situation: I recently got my first ticket for "failure to maintain proper lane" on a two-way street. It was late at night & I was in an unfamiliar area. I thought the street was a one-way street that just had two lanes. There were no cars coming & I got on the left-hand lane to make a left turn. Then I got pulled over for the wrong turn. My defense is that I was in a unfamiliar area under obscured (night) vision conditions. Will this be a good defense in court? What can I expect to happen? Any advice?

I'm sure the judge will appreciate your attempt at humor. There is so little in Georgia traffic courts.

To be found guilty because you are.

Pay the ticket.
