not too familiar with that exact area but my parking ticket was on Carson St itself, some of the signs are hard to see and find, when I went back I finally found the one I was looking for which was right under an overpass and hard to see stating "Truck parking prohibited in the city of carson unless otherwise posted" or something along those lines, unless there is a sign that says Truck parking for so many hours then you get a ticket. I know your ticket was for something else and I do know that there are streets around the area thats prohibited for trucks to drive on but almost impossible to find the signs. Only some of the streets have the truck route sign posted that I have seen. -

I got a parking ticket at 5PM in Ontario,Ca. signs posted said no parking from 7PM to 6AM, of coarse there where 10 parked cars there also, no tickets. I had some time so I went to the police station, I asked why I got a ticket, I was parked within the parking time frame posted, he said no commercial truck parking on any public street in Ontario, I asked where the signs were? The guy told me that they can't post signs on all the streets, and I should know the city ordnance's. Say what! I guess we need to study all the city's ordnances before we enter each city we deliver in??? He also said the Police in the L. A. area are not trucker friendly. I am working on not ever driving a semi in California. Wait till diesel goes up .50/gallon next year

When the ticket is almost due, file an extension with the court. These are automatically granted. You can get a 60 day extension most of the time.
Near the very end of the extension period, do a Trial by Written Declaration. Send in your bail amount and MAKE SURE THE COURT RECEIVES THE PAPERWORK *BEFORE* THE DUE DATE or else you can get FTA.
If the officer fails to file his response in a timely manner, your case is DISMISSED. HOWEVER if they find you guilty at this point, now you request a Trial de Novo--a new trial, and a court appearance in person. Hire a lawyer to represent you at the in person trial. You get to argue your case at this point. If the cop fails to show up to court, DISMISSED! -
If I don't pay a wrong lane citation that I got in California in my semi, will they suspend my Ga license? I don't plan on going back to that state.
