    Default Failure to Obey Traffic Control Device-New York

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NY

    I was pulled over by a patrol after making a left turn at an intersection which was marked "No left turn". I was traveling down an one way street following instructions from GPS (and yahoo map). There was a SUV in front of me so I didn't see the "no left turn" sign on the left side of the roads. After I made the left turn and got on a two way street, I was pulled over by the police and he gave me a ticket for "failure to obey traffic device".

    I am not familiar with this area, I had no idea how I missed the road sign, and I had no intention to make the wrong turn. Is it possible to dismiss the ticket or lessen to a parking ticket?
    I am a good student, I really hope I can get the ticket out of my record. Shall I go to the court and how can I defend my self?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    If you want to try to negotiate to reduce the ticket, you will have to contact the prosecutor who is responsible for the ticket in the traffic court and see what you can negotiate.

    Student status not relevant. If you can show via photos that you could not see the sign then you have a defense. If you simply missed it, welll you know
