My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA
I was pulled over for talking on my cellphone with violation 23123a just before an intersection. The cop also charged me with a 21806a failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and a 16028a proof of insurance. My question is about how to hopefully waive the failure to yield part of the ticket due to the location: at an intersection.
I was approaching the intersection and in the right-lane between the turn-lane and the left lane in a two-lane plus turn-lane street. The cop turned its lights on well under 1000 feet behind me, in the turn lane and I did not have a way to pull over to the right before the intersection so I pulled over immediately after the intersection once I realized the cop was coming after me for the cell-phone. Please let me know what would constitute as a way to contest and hopefully waive this ticket, considering the circumstances.
When the cop pulled me over, it was just across from my apartment-building and he asked me where I lived. This seemed weird, but if anyone knows why he would have asked me this, it would be interesting to find out.
