My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: California
Hello everyone,
I recently received a citation for following too closely (code 21403). Today I called my LA Superior Court to request for traffic school. The lady said I am not eligible, but I told her that I have not had a single ticket in years. She looked further and to her surprised, my name on the system was apparently placed under the wrong violation area. She mentioned that the violation code that I am actually cited for is "Bicyclist, hitching ride on other vehicle" (code 21203). I also mentioned to her that my name is not correctly spelled either (the letters are there, but jumbled). Btw, all the information on my original ticket is correct. She then told me that she does not know what to do and gave me a number to the Clerk's office for the court I am assigned to for correction. I have been calling that number for two days, but no answer. I am scheduled to appear in court in two weeks if I do not pay the bail. I was willing to pay for the bail, but not for a violation that I did not make. Please advise what I can do at this point. Thank you in advance.
