Q: Anyone familiar with 40-6-126? Does this apply to a car that has intentions of turning left & more than 300ft away?
Accident occurred in turning lane. 1st party was idling, waiting to clear the turn lane. 2nd car was driving in the turn lane, more than 300 ft from her turn, crossing over 1 lane of traffic. Distance was verified at 345 feet. I was cited for the ticket. GA code 40-6-126
A: All police-issued tickets are based upon the officer's OPINION about what happened, and what was done. Then, a criminal defense attorney investigates and seeks to exclude illegal evidence or to refute the alleged facts.
