UPDATE:

My court date is tomorrow morning. I have yet to receive disclosure, which I requested over a month ago. I have a couple questions:

If the case is not adjourned due to lack of disclosure, can I argue for leniency? I've had my G license for almost 10 years, never been pulled over, not a single ticket, yet I had my M1 for just two days and stopped my (brother's) bike just over the line at an empty 4-way stop. Is it worth it to point this out? Or that I'm a recent college grad with student loan repayment eating up most of my cash?

Is there anything else I can/should do?

Thanks

I recommend when riding your bike, to stop behind or at the line and make sure you put at least one foot down. Have you taken a motorcycle safety course for your M1 exit? I highly recommend it. No, not yet. I literally wrote my M1 two days ago. I'm back home visiting family for a few weeks and was riding my brother's bike; clearly I'm still getting used to it. I told the officer this but he didn't seem to care. For the record, the 4-way was clear, except for a truck I was following. It is always worth fighting. Choose Option 3 NOT GUILTY and request a TRIAL with the officer present. Once you ...

Hi all,

I was recently stopped and ticketed: Disobey Stop Sign - Stop Wrong Place HTA 136 (1) (a). The charge is $110 and 3 points. It was at a 4-way intersection, and I came to a complete stop, but it was maybe 3-5 feet over the line. The officer said it was on video. I'm an M1 rider with an otherwise clean record.

Is this worth fighting?

Thanks,
SM
