What is the name of your state? Maryland
I have a Massachusetts licenses and I was driving in Baltimore(Maryland) downtown on Lombard Street. It was the first day of my life in downtown Baltimore and I had spent almost 2 hrs getting lost looking for BWI airport.
Anyway heres my story: I was going down this street and there was a truck ahead of me. I did not notice that the left 2 lanes were "left" only and instead of going left, I went straight ahead right where a police officer was standing. It seemed like he knew a lot of people would make that mistake coz behind me he stopped another 2 cars for the same offense.
My fine is 75$, but I am seriously thinking of contesting it in court. I told the officer that I could not change lanes in advance bcoz there was a truck in front of me and that even if I did, I am not supposed to change lanes in the middle of a traffic light.
Any advise on how I should/could present my case and get it dismissed. I want to base my decision on your feedback. Thanks in advance for your help!
