My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: washington
I got a ticket: Fail to obey direction of police officer. violation code(RCW 46.61.015)
An accident happened in the intersection. A police officer was controlling the traffic. I stopped on the left turn only lane,and put my left turn light on. This officer showed me a gesture let me go. As soon as I turned left. he stopped me, and gave me this ticket.He said, he wants me to go straight, I disobey his instruction.
There are 2 people in my car, we all see his gesture(direction) means "go ahead to turn left". we were on left turn only lane, and there is no any other sign or light.
This happen is all because the police officer's unclear instruction.
I wanna fight this $124 ticket. (the court is only 2 mile from my home, I have a lot of time)
My question is, do I need to pay the court fee, or interpreter fee?
If I lose, if the penalty will go up?
How to fight in the court I can have more chance to win?
