OP

Was the car you hit ON THE HIGHWAY? (In iowa, highway is 'any road' pretty much)


If it wasnt a defined road, and perhaps the parked car was off the roadway and off the road easement, you...

I thought I was trying to help you.

If you cannot tell us (me) what you were cited or, how can I help? If the ticket was wet and you cannot read it, the court will have that info. Or the notice...

"right" is for a different forum

THIS forum is for the LEGAL thing to do....

To you? no, no difference at all

op

what SPECIFIC section of the CA vehicle code was listed on the citation?

is it a parking violation or an authorized vehicle violation?

Did your daughter sign the ticket? (Assumption on my part this is necessary in Ohio...)

lol

To use the standard EL argument: If they did that, the first kid killed 'when lights might have helped even if not legally applicable' will result in a massive lawsuit.

School likely knows...

I know, right?

I'll give it a look later. Seems that it may be a challenge to find where the law defines a use as a 'toll road' versus 'a HOV lane'.

There has to be a legal difference,...

Look at the laws that apply to Pedestrians in the jurisdiction. They may define a pedestrians responsibilities- which may help.

Also look up the definition of yield.

At a yield sign at the...

There MAY be ways to beat this ticket- but not based on anything we see here so far. If you want to challenge the legality of their system, how you were served, their records,...

Why not fill us in on what happened, etc, etc

So we are clear, here is the VC text:


I am lost as to what you are now arguing about.

You first said it "is supposed to be" stuck to the glass.

I pointed out that is incorrect, as a...

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I dont care what caltrans says, caltrans is NOT THE LAW.

The LAW says it must be visible. It does not need to be affixed to anything. Just visible.

The question you SHOULD have asked is "how can I fight this citation if the officer didnt witness the act?"

Incorrect.

VC 23302 says:



It does NOT need to be affixed. It shall be visible. I prop mine up against the lower driver side corner windshield when I need it

Oh, yeah. Thought you just needed to do the test.

Ive been towing a gooseneck 3 horse trailer for 15+ years on my Class C. GCVWR is around 22k- so under 26k. (I wont say if Ive ever loaded it...

Mom may indeed be Fing with the father by cancelling the license. Now dad has to deal with transport. So not parental punishment, but simply crazy wife spite.

Where do you live, roughly?

Might find someone willing to meet you at the DMV with their rig to let you take a test... buy them a steak dinner. Retired RVers and all...

Indeed...the only other option is the cop is abusing the OP with a bad cite. And that NEVER, EVER happens ...

Great. Go for it.

Say 'the state failed to identify the driver of the car in question, I am therefore not guilty'

How do the VZW records "clearly" indicate the phone was at home?

Cops will lie, judge will believe him; may even opine that you probaby have more than one cell phone.

Judges always assume cops...

Welp, I never did say that- did I? (and neither do I)

Good luck with your declaration- since you have determined that this is indeed the best way to approach this ticket. There are other paths,...

Just an observation....

I like that they provide a numerical value to the level of certainy to their use of the LIDAR. "100 percent certain"...with no way for the officer to modify that text. ...

Since when do images testify?

and can a red light camera technician OR a sworn officer testify to identity based only on a DL picture? ie if the OP is not in the courtroom?



Specifics...

Does it matter?

I mean I know this is about first, determine guilt- THEN, maybe, give legal advice....

Like carl's helpful advice- only if it wasnt you- to go to court. God forbid these guys...
