Q: I was stopped on a public street making a left turn into a private driveway. Got ticket for blocking street. Really???
The ticket was for 22400 California, BLOCKING ROADWAY. The road was one lane each way public street. Yes, it was a narrow road, cars could not pass until I turned into the driveway. Coming out of the drive way was a car with a guy looking at his lap. (using phone I guess). I beeped the horn, he looked up, left the driveway, and I entered. The cop followed me in to the parking lot. (I was at a horse race track). He ticketed me there. This seems crazy that I can't turn in to a business driveway. Any thoughts?
A:
There are many attorneys who specialize in representation on Traffic Tickets. You should consult with one of them. If you read the code section and do not believe you were in violation, you should fight the ticket. It will be a point count on your driving record and you could end up with an insurance premium increase.
