    Default CVC 21801(A), Failure to Yield on Left Turn

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of:California
    I arrived at the light, the officer was to my left and I had all green lights. I then proceeded to make a left turn, then immediately the officer turned on his lights, made a u-turn to get behind me and then pulled me over. He then at first told me I could only turn left when I had a green arrow, which didn't make sense for the particular light, as I don't believe there is a green arrow, only green lights. After he got my information he came back and told me I failed to yield on a left turn, which didn't make sense to me because I had nobody to yield too in the first place. No accident involved at all. Could someone help me understand this?

    Default Re: 21801 Av.c. Failure to Yield on Left Turn

    There's nothing to understand, your cop screwed up but didn't want to admit it, so he wrote you for a similar violation. You should just go to court and tell the same story you have told here. Don't be afraid to diligently cross examine the cop after he testifies.
