Q: I receive ticket for crossing a divided section. I received a ticket in mail in my husband's name for Obstructed view..
I live in California. I called and they said there is ticket in my name for obstructed view? He never gave me the ticket for that only crossing the line. Is this legal? I have tinted windows for my safety.
A:
In California, receiving a traffic ticket in the mail that was not issued to you during a traffic stop can be confusing and may require clarification. The ticket for an obstructed view, possibly related to tinted windows, should adhere to the legal standards set by the state. California has specific laws regarding the tinting of vehicle windows, particularly the front windshield and front side windows, which must allow a certain percentage of light to pass through.
If you received a ticket for an offense that was not mentioned during the initial traffic stop, it's important to address this discrepancy. You have the right to contest the ticket. This process typically involves attending a court hearing, where you can present your case and any evidence you have, such as details of the original traffic stop and information about your window tint.
Given the situation with the ticket being issued in your husband's name, it's crucial to clarify this error as well. Incorrectly issued tickets can often be challenged due to such administrative errors.
Considering the complexity of your situation, it may be helpful to consult with an attorney who has experience in traffic law. They can provide guidance on how to proceed, including how to contest the ticket and address the issue of the ticket being in your husband's name. Remember, each traffic case is unique, and the approach should be tailored to your specific circumstances.
