With that said... these responses are a bit off. I asked for answers to a question, as is the design of this forum, and got some offhand rude results. If you don't want to answer, then don't.
Speaking only for myself, how do you figure my prior response was "a bit off"?
You asked two questions: (1) were you "in the legal wrong by reversing [your] vehicle against 1 way traffic;" and (2) "Should I contest my ticket or just pony up the $30?"
The second question calls for a value judgment and is, to some extent, influenced by the likely result of contesting the ticket. I suggested that contesting a $30 ticket for something you didn't apparently do when you almost certainly did commit a violation might not be a good idea. As for the first question, while my direct answer was "probably," I think it's safe to say that it's far more than probable.

It's answers like ["adjusterjack's" response] that are pointless
I don't disagree, but if you objected only to "adjusterjack's" response, you should have been clear about that, rather than lumping all of the first three responses together.

Probably. What would make you think it's legal to drive the wrong way in reverse?
Well, you always drive "the wrong way" if you drive in reverse. So are you then claiming backing up is always illegal? If so, you are clearly, absolutely and demonstrably wrong . Or are you saying that, if one wants to back up, they can only do so on a two-way street, driving on their left, so as to be moving in the same direction as the other vehicles on that half of the roadway? Sounds absolutely ridiculous to me, if you can quote here a law confirming that, all the power to you. :highly_amused::highly_amused::highly_amused:

There's a difference in what a reasonable person would consider "backing" as the law describes it and driving 75 meters in reverse.
