passing a car on the right side to make a right turn. the san marino cop told me that i was in the bike lane so he gave me a ticket for that.
then there was a time when i was driving down the street with four lanes, two on each side, and a green light. there was a undercover cop who was posing as a pedestrian standing at the sidewalk at a T intersection, (reminder that less than 25 yards is another intersection with a marked crosswalk, stop light that was also green), started to step off the curb to cross the street. i got a ticket for not yeilding for a pedestrian crossing at an intersection. when i looked up the vehicle code for this violation it stated that a pedestrian has a right away at an intersection but they cannot impede traffic and some other stuff. i read that as to be not trying to cross four lanes of traffic while there is a green light 25 yards from where he was at.
these are what i call bogus tickets. as a driver i am using common sense. why would a pedestrian want to cross four lanes of traffic when there is a cross walk just 25 yards further down the street? and there is a green light for traffic? the other ticket is if there is no bicyclist why couldn't we use that part of the road to make a right turn?
