California.
I've never contested my traffice violation before, so I need some help.
Before I hopped on my vehicle, I checked direction and still unclear for me which exit to take. With my wife's iPhone maps, I'm confidence it willtake us to our destination.
So, I was cruising 101 North Bound on the 3rd lane in 4 lanes freeway.
Five minutes before taking an exit, my wife told me to take an exit on within 2 miles.
Less 1/4 miles to an exit, I have to take this exit. So, I changed to the last lane (4th), exited the freeway immediately and crossing on ramp freeway divider (I dont know the name; triangle shaped with white solid lane, usually on free way exit) .
While I was exiting, CHP saw the whole situation and stopped me. He gave me citation 21755. Unsafe passing on right shoulder.
Bail amount is around $200.
My question;
I want to contest my citation;
1. Do I need to pay the bail amount first?
2. Should I fill TR-205 form to contest my citation?
3. Any suggestions to contest are welcome
I hope someone can help me.
