1) As said please learn to use paragraphs next time.
2) Grammar is your friend.
3) I still don't entirely get what happened.

There was a car in the right lane, so you moved to the left lane (what was wrong with the center lane?) then back to make the right turn? If I got that right, you moved one too many lanes to make your turn, for the conditions, i.e. you crossed two lanes in a single manuver to make your right turn.

IF you had just moved to the center lane and then made the right turn, assuming the car parked in the right lane was within 100 feet or so of the corner, then let the judge know the road conditions with the little vehicle board they normally have, and you'll have a decent chance at getting the lane violation removed.

Get the ticket, go research teh vehicle code they cited you for, and then make your story work with it.

. Reading this was much better then trying to read that never ending piss stream of words.

Damn, some of you guys are extremely harsh on the comments. lol.
Seriously, some of you need to stop with the useless comments, it only adds to the stress.

To the OP: seems like the cops were dicks, but o well, deal with it. It's not like you can track them down and blow up their cars. (Or maybe you can, that's what I would do). I'm assuming this is your first ticket so just pay it, go through online traffic school (takes like 30 minutes, literally), and let it go.

It won't hit your insurance if you do traffic school, and I'm assuming you don't have to go to court. Call up the courts office just in case.

That's my advice.

So there was a parked car in the right lane so I didnt wanna hit the car duh. so when it was clear I pulled directly into the center lane due to a parked car in the right lane. But I need to make a right turn at the end of the block (sunset south right on cresten heights) but its not like a normal right where typically you would just turn at the corner. There is a triangle. So from the middle lane I swith to the right lane to turn into the right turn lane. Then out of no where a under cover cop pulls me over while im waiting in the right hand turn lane. He was like "you skipped a lane and make an illegal right turn". And he said I didnt indicate. I HONSTLY HAD NO IDEA WTF I DID WRONG. I EVEN WENT BACK AFTER I GOT THE TICKET! I dont believe it, I think I did indicate. Then he like where are your plates? and I was like its a new car. then he goes let me see your registration and I was like ok and I gave him my insurence and he was like no this is not it so then after like 3 mins I was like OOOOoooOO its the thing on my window so I gave him that. but he was like ur insurence is expired and I was like WTF no way. My dad never gave me the new card. THen he goes "is this your dads car?"and I was like yea (but its not its just registered under his name)And he said I was speeding but he didnt have a radar so he didnt write that on the ticket. So he is writing the ticket and I like flipping out. Then his partner goes "next time you dont have to go showing off you or your daddys car." And I didnt say anything but I was so F'in pissed. SO he hands me the ticket and I quickly read and and as he is pulling to pass infront of me I wave him that he mismarked the court. I am under 18 so ppl under 18 go to a ju v court. SO then I ask him if he could wave the right turn so I could just prove the insurence thing in court. he was like I am already letting you off for not indicating. I want to call him at work but I dont know wether to lie and say I was completely wrong and pleed to let me go for the right turn...or argue with him? PLEASE NEED HELP ON WHAT TO SAY! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!


When i was 16, and i got this brand new audi, i got pulled over...and the pig started giving me shit that I was "wasting" daddy's money or some shit like that...and so then after I got the ticket i was like..."you seem a little bitter that I am half your age, and driving a car you could never afford, and it seems like your daddy never hugged you when you were little, huh?"....then i rolled my window up and drove off....wow was he mad or what....he had no reason to say that shit to you or anyone else...its just jealousy.
