Failing to stop on a red light while making a right turn...

**soulscape27** · 02-19-2010, 10:32 PM

I got a ticket in the mail for 21453(A) for failing to stop for an official red traffic control signal. I was making a right turn on a red light. Originally, the ticket was in my mom's name because my car is in her name, so she submitted the correction form which identified me as the driver. A week later, the ticket was registered in my name. After researching I realized that doing this was a mistake but it's too late to do anything now. I was caught via camera and I checked out the video online and I did not stop when I made a right turn. Anyways, this is my first ticket after 11 years of driving. Is there anyone that has gotten out of a ticket like this by doing a Trial by Declaration? If anyone has been in this situation and has gotten out of it, then please let me know how you did it. Thanks.

I'd fight it in court, and ask that unless the prosecution has subpoenaed mommy, her declaration is hearsay.

It sucks your mom ratted you out ... she was under no obligation to ID you.

There is some good info on RLC tickets on http://www.helpigotaticket.com

There is some good info on RLC tickets on Help! I Got a Ticket!
