Q: Are there any circumstances where I can contested ticket for failure to yield on a left hand turn
I was just in a accident where I was sited a ticket for failure to yield on a left hand turn. But under the circumstances I feel like I was in the right. I was stopped at a red light and once it turned green I proceeded into the intersection without no oncoming traffic in site as I started to make my turn I seen the truck fastly approaching so I stopped only to realize that I was going to be hit headed on. Because I had my disabled mother in the vehicle I knew I couldn't take a head on collision but cause of her injuries so I tried to make the turn
A: You can contest it but it's hard to win this type of ticket. A lawyer who handles traffic tickets may be able to help.
