Q: I was issued a summons in Robbinsvile New Jersey for touching the traffic fog line.
I was issued a summons in New Jersey @3 AM on my way home for touching the traffic fog line. The officer followed me for quiet a while b4 I did something that he could justify a traffic stop. After going back to the area of the stop the next day I noticed that the traffic lines were faded and in needed of maintenance which prevented me from seeing the fog line. Is there any New jersey regulations which mandate that traffic lines must be maintained by the city, county or state? I was on a county road.
My court date is Aug. 9 2022
A: That is an issue that you can fight the ticket over but you would need to go to trial over it and you will need to take pictures/video of the area where you were stopped. Without a lawyer these cases are hard to win because you will have to prove that a reasonable person could not make out the line.
