I WAS PRETTY MUCH LATE TO WORK. WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT FROM WEBB ONTO ROSCOE, THERE IS REALLY NEVER ANY TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA. UNFORTUNATELY THE 2 YEAR CONSTRUCTION ZONE HAD MOVED UP ONTO VANTAGE AVE CAUSING TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA AND ONLY HAVING ONE LANE OPEN AFTER YOU PASS VANTAGE AVE. SO ONCE I MADE A LEFT I WAS GOING 30 TILL I SAW 3 TRUCKS IN FRONT OF THE RED LIGHT SO I DECIDED TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND RIGHT WHEN I MOVED, I SAW THE LIGHT TURN GREEN SO I BASICALLY WENT IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AT A SPEED OF OF 43 MPH AND SLOWED DOWN AFTEWARDS BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FOLLOWING STREET BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION HAVING ONE LANE OPEN. THAT’S WHEN THE COP PULLED ME OVER ON THE CROSS STREETS OF ROSCOE AND VANTAGE AND ASSIGNED ME MY TICKET. THE SCHOOL WAS 5 BLOCKS DOWN RIGHT BEFORE WHITSETT AND ANOTHER SCHOOL WAS DOWN LAUREL CANYON AFTER CANTARA STREET. THERE WERE NO STUDENTS PRESENT ANYWHERE AROUND AND ALSO THE PART WHERE I BYPASSED, THERE WAS NO CONSTRUCTION NOR ANY CONES IN THAT AREA. THE CONSTRUCTION WAS ON VANTAGE AVE.

MY TICKET SAYS THAT I WAS GOING APPROX 60 BUT THE COP WAS NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A WARNING ON THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING 43 BECAUSE I HAVE A HUGE DIGITAL DISPLAY ON MY CIVIC THAT GIVES MY SPEED AND IT SAYS THAT IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE SCHOOL ZONE AND CONES WERE PRESENT.

HERE IS LINK TO THE AREA IN WHICH THE INCIDENT HAPPENED:

  1. This is almost as confusing as the first time you asked it.

    Here is what I think happened:

    You made your left onto Roscoe.  You were in a hurry and late for work (at least that is what you said in your other post).  You were approaching the light at Vantage and saw 3 trucks in front of you.

    Roscoe goes to 1 lane right after Vantage because of the construction.

    You knew this, as they most likely had signs saying so but didn't care and tried to beat the trucks through the intersection by passing them on the right.  

    You were just impatient and tried to get in front of 3 other vehicles and got caught.  By your own admission in this post and the other you were driving stupidly and deserved a ticket.

    So pay it and quit driving like that.


  2. pay your ticket then look for a traffic school so that the points don't get counted.
