    Default Careless Driving in Colorado Springs

    My question involves a careless driving ticket from the State of Colorado.

    I was issued a ticket for careless driving after an accident. The other driver was not issued a ticket. I was behind the other vehicle at a stop light in the left lane of traffic. After the light the other vehicle moved into the right hand lane of traffic. I stayed in the left lane. The other driver slowed as if turning right. Instead, they turned left, from the right hand lane. The other vehicle was a large Jeep, I drove a small Toyota Corolla. The front of my vehicle was pushed over the double yellow line; however the back of my car was still in the left lane of traffic. I was issued the ticket because the officer believed I had crossed the double yellow line to pass the person turning left. The officer also believed that there was only one lane of traffic. I have pictures and information from the city to prove that there are two lanes and they are marked correctly.

    I hired a forensic crash analysis which determined I was not at fault for the accident and could not have avoided the accident. I am fighting the ticket.

    I know what to ask my witness but have not idea what to ask the police officer.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Your accident reconstructionist should be able to help you put together a set of questions. It sounds like you want to get him to assert that there was only one traffic lane, such that you can impeach him with the photographs.
