    Sounds like a lot of drivers the screw them self up, Get ticketed or fired from a job, Blame everyone else, and then don't like the response they get when they post what happen, Now, I'm going to change my advise from my previous post, keep doing what your doing to get as many fines as you can, To many CSA point will make you unhireable, Then you wont need to worry about anything, Good buy

    Here is your ''ticket''..Now you can read it and see if you can hire an attorney to ''fight'' it.As you read it,ask yourself if you were ''RIGHT'' or ''WRONG''..Good Luck to you.That is all you need to know..

    Read the OP. I didn't blame anyone. The subject is "need help with California ticket" not "tell me how to avoid the same ticket again" . The 4th line from the bottom says "I don't need to hear what I should have done".

    Its a long moot point of why I didn't stop earlier - a wasted discussion. Local advice and relevant info IS appreciated.

    Look at (2)...

    (2) When required by law or in obedience to a peace officer or official traffic control device.

    This may be your ''out''...You are required a 30 minute ''by law''....

    Call an Attorney and stop this TTR Insanity....
     
    blairandgretchen Thanks this.

    The point really is after nine years of driving you don,t know to call the da and try to.get a lessor charge....,or in my opinion that parking on shoulders or wide spots is dangerous and a bad idea
    Or more to the point that most posters on ttr are smart@@@s and now you butt hurt

    Why is everyone critcizing this driver....

    Many drivers on this TTR seem to be from the ''perfect'' bunch..

    We all make mistakes.Some are mistakes that we can own and some are just some #### head cop wanting break your balls for the REVENUE.Sad but true...

    I have not met one Perfectttttttttttttttt driver yet..In my close to 30 years of trucking i have made mistakes that ''i did'' and other where stupid #### from a stupid cop...

    Can you explain "calling the DA" in California and negotiating a lesser charge? Last I knew there was no option of that..

    And yes, its pretty obvious that a lot of folks on here don't read thoroughly, and don't like being informed of that.

    Opinion and advice are different. I asked of the latter.

    Seriously though, you can call the DA on a traffic citation? Any information on that?
