I dont deny that this was his fault. I too cringed when he said he followed the gps. But you should still fight every ticket. Hopefully he learned from this.

California isnt dropping that ticket one red cent. I fought a left lane(really more like the third of 6 lanes but hey...) And the judge was so impressed by my argument than the fine went from 280 to 780 and he urged my attorney to keep talking.
Pay it and walk away.PE_T, Long FLD and BigDog Trucker Thank this. -

HiPo said I should try fighting it(how about you fight the urge to ticket me instead?)... Judge basically said my explanation sounded like I was admitting to being in a lane I shouldn't have been. That was the last time I ever went to california lol -
I will add this one comment about fighting a ticket. Way back in the early 80s just after I got out of the Air Force a Georgia State trooper cited me for speeding. I was actually not speeding because he "clocked" the guy ahead of me that was. I attempted to tell the Judge my side. He totally ignored me and found me guilty. That day I determined if that ever happened again I would avail myself to my ABSOLUTE right under the Georgia state constitution to a Jury Trial. I don't think California is a state that grants Jury trials in cases like this. However, in something like this I would not try to fight it putting the outcome on a Judge. Using a Jury is the only way, in my opinion, to bring basic common sense to this almost statist money-grabbing system formally known as a courtroom.
