Traffic Ticket - CVC 21453 (a)
I was at complete stop waiting to go straight at an intersection. The light turned green for left turn. I was absent-minded and thought the green light was for going straight, I entered the intersection about half car length. I then realized the green light was not for going straight so I stopped and reversed back to the same spot before. Light turned green and I drove through the intersection.
There was a cop car on the opposite direction who saw what happened. He followed and gave me a cvc 21453 (a) violation.
I did not run through the intersection during red light.
Was the officer correct to give me the ticket? Should I contest the ticket?
Please give your opinion,
Thanks.

Looks like it doesn't have to do with running through. If traffic school is an option, I would just pay it and be more careful.

you're supposed to stop before the limit line and anything passing it would be breaking the law...fight it if you please.
PS. i heard reversing from a stop at an intersection is bad...
it's just what a i heard. gl

Did you enter the actual intersection or just passed into the crosswalk?
If you were in the crosswalk and never passed the second line into the intersection I would fight it.

I dont think the cop should of given you the ticket. But he did cite you correctly so you would have a hard time fighting it unless you have a logical judge.
But it is true that you broke the law he wrote you up for.

Logical judge.... 99% you'll have a logical judge.
A judge who actually listens to your story prior to making his mind up..... 50% chance.
Good luck, fight it for sure, get your main points across quick and keep it short.... the opposite of my posts.
