I was driving on a 2 lane street approaching an intersection with a traffic light when i noticed construction immediately after the light that took away the right lane. It was a green light so i looked ahead and all the cars were advancing through. It was not a heavily trafficked time as there were about 4 or 5 cars in front of me. Directly in front of me was a work car of some kind with one of those steel caged trailers attached to it like the ones that gardeners use. I flipped on my signal and slowly proceeded to merge into the left lane to avoid the construction ahead. Unbeknownst to me, the truck in front of me was turning left but had no signal indicating so. I tried to stop the car but ended up bumping into the back corner of the steel trailer. The front left side of my car got pretty beat up as well. The trailer was not damaged as well. Once the cop was called to the scene, he charged me with an unsafe lane change. The cop was not at the scene and just gave me the ticket based on the stories from me and the truck driver. So i have 2 questions 1) do i have a case to remove the lane change ticket? 2) Do i have a case for charging the truck driver for repairs (more of a longshot, i realize.) Cheers! :)

I got a careless driving ticket and I was involved in quite a serious accident. I was driving at about 60 km/h arriving towards a stop sign. Unfortunately when I tried to stop, my shoes were sliding off from my foot as they did not have any strap and were perhaps oversized and slippery. I could…
I received a speeding ticket yesterday, and was hoping to get some insight as to how to deal with it here.
I was driving, and I seen an officer driving behind a couple of oncoming cars. I looked down at my speed, and seen that I was doing slightly over 100 (ie 102/103), so I put on the…

Hello, I am sure people are getting tired of asking about this hand held electronic device section, but I would like to know if a piece of paper is included in this description? I was ticketed just a few days ago for holding a gas station receipt in my hand to stop it from flapping in the breeze…
