I only do that because I'm hurrying to beat the light, and can't hold the car in my lane.airsix wrote:2) drifting from the inside lane to the outside lane while negotiating a turn.

Not that I could figure out ... I finally decided it'd cost me more to fight it than to just pay it ... which, I'm sure, is why it hasn't been challenged yet ...mz53480 wrote:Is it possible to face your 'accuser' in court for one of these tickets?
I have been in downtown and IF you wait for everyone to cross and be on the sidewalk, you will end up in the middle of the intersection as lights turns red.Dusty2 wrote:Not a new law, it's been on the books for a long time.

Another one you need to be careful about in Seattle is the law that sez when you stop for a pedestrian you must wait till they clear the intersection not just until it's safe for you to proceed. If they are not on the sidewalk when you move they can ticket you just the same as if you never stopped at all. :angry: Dirty pool in my book.
Technically, as long as you have a place to go to clear the intersection, that's legal. What's not legal is getting stuck in the intersection and impeding oncoming traffic.pogiguy05 wrote:I have been in downtown and IF you wait for everyone to cross and be on the sidewalk, you will end up in the middle of the intersection as lights turns red.Dusty2 wrote:Not a new law, it's been on the books for a long time.

Portland tried that law for awhile but eventually got it repealed. Now the law is, the pedestrian has to be 6' beyond the lane that you want to travel in. Much better for vehicles although I've almost been rear-ended a couple of times while I wait for the pedestrian to get 3-4 steps into the next lane.Dusty2 wrote:Not a new law, it's been on the books for a long time.

seems to me that if a company out of AZ. is running these things and the local PD's have nothing to do with it then if someone did fight the ticket (and does so with a competent knowlege of 'due process' and legal procedure) then the AZ company would have to show in court to defend their charge.
