What is the name of your state? WV
I got stopped for making an illegal turn. It is a right on red, but not during the hours of 6am and 6pm. This happened the day after "fall back," and the clock in my car said 6:50pm instead of 5:50pm. I stopped at the red light, looked at the clock to verify the correct time, and made a controlled right turn. There was not much traffic on the road at the time, even. My mistake on the clock, and I told the officer I thought it was later. Also, there are two things wrong on the citation:
- She incorrectly marked the road I was on as a city street (High Street and Walnut), when in fact it was a US Route (US Route 119).
- She failed to indicate whether I violated a WV State Code or Municipal Ordinance, just wrote a reference number, even though there is a selection box for each.
I mean this is like a hundred dollars we're talking about! I am probably going to fight this thing anyways and just want any tips you guys have to offer. Thank you.
