What is the name of your state? California
Hi .
I am in California. One night I was driving on a one-way road and intended to turn into another one-way road. I couldn't see the street name nor the sign "One way" because the street light was too bright and make my eyes blink until it was too close to change lane. I was in the second lane from the right and I made a right turn into the wrong way of the other street. Right after making the right turn, I recognize I did wrong, and I made a U-turn immediately. There was no car running at that time.
The cop caught me and gave me a ticket for two violations:
1. Improper left turn CVC 22100(b)
2. One-way violation CVC 21657
My question:
1. Why is "improper left turn" when I made a right turn?
2. Does the fine accumulate because of 2 violation?
3.Can I explain the situation in court because of the condition of light at that time?
Thank you
