What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I know there are several NYPD officers who frequent this site. I was recently issued a ticket for a violation that in my 20+ years of driving was unaware of. Negligence is not a defense. In this case, the officers where lined up handing out ticket after ticket. Regardless, I was caught off guard (even considering my former MOS work).
Instead of offering advice about an actual violation, would people who are familiar with the traffic code offer any instances of typical violations where an experienced driver are caught and surprised? If the intent of a violation is to improve safety, interested parties reading responses would be more informed to act in a prudent and lawful manner.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. I hope this topic is appropriate for the forum and passes the MODs.
