What is the name of your state? Oregon
Traffic conditions: No other cars on any of the streets at a 4 way intersection
I was travelling north on a two-lane road when I decided to make a left turn. I mistakenly forgot to use my left turn signal. There were no cars travelling opposite me and none behind or on the street that I was turning on to.
A motorcycle cop came out of nowhere and issued me a citation. I had violated 811.335 "unsignaled turn" according to the ticket. Base fine in Oregon is $94, which doesn't much bug me, but it's the insurance costs over the next 3 years that do.
I haven't received a ticket for over 4 years now and I have a good driving record. I'm always safe and courteous to other drivers.
Is there any way I can get out of this ticket? Are there options such as a drivers education course that would clear the ticket from my record, or community service of some sort? Anything that would keep this off my record would be great. Any advice is appreciated.
