Passing out of lane - ticket on I-5 in California

489849

{"text":"I got cited 12/04/19 for passing on the 3rd lane on a 4-lane section of I-5 by the highway patrol. I’m from Texas. \nWould I need to get a California traffic attorney or can I get one from Texas? \n\nOr is it time to get into one of those truckers’ attorneys services such as Motor Club of America? My brother in law suggested I join that club. He’s gotten two over-15 mph speeding tickets to go away without getting into his license. \n\nAny idea how much the fine alone would be? \n\nTrooper was nice fella. Didn’t cite me for going 5 mph over the speed limit. \n\nThank you in advance for your suggestions and/or knowledge ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Found this for you also,\n\nViolation of the California truck lane restrictions can result in fines up to $250 for a third violation within one year. Slower moving vehicles must stay in the far right hand lane except to pass or to make a left hand turn. The California Highway Patrol strictly enforces the truck lane restrictions.Oct 29, 2018\n\nI believe CA will force you to appear,  maybe an attorney can show on your behalf.  You are actually lucky he didn't wrIte you up for speeding.  Good Luck.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"“No trucks⬇️” would be more clear.  A lane restriction that comes with legal consequences should be called out as a lane restriction. Not an ambiguous “trucks ok” in the other lanes.\n\nIt is a trap set to generate revenue.","replyToPid":276133}

{"replyTo":"","text":"As always you want to call lawyers in the area of where you got your ticket. I ask questions like how long they been working in that line of work. I don't use lawyer pro services, because they're just going to get you the cheapest lawyer.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I agree but heres a quick bit from CHP\n\n\"It’s a possibility that some of the out-of-state truck drivers are not aware of California’s lane restrictions because such laws differ from state to state, but that’s no excuse. If you drive in another state, you have to follow their traffic laws.\n\nWe can assure both of our readers that we’ve addressed this issue many times previously in On the Road and the California Highway Patrol is aware of the problem. Semis and trucks pulling a trailer are supposed to drive in the far-most right or outer lanes, but it depends on how many lanes the highway has. If it’s a four-lane freeway, semis must drive in the right two lanes. On a three-lane highway, they are restricted to the right lane but may pass in the No. 2 lane.\"\n\nMaybe when In doubt run with other trucks in various States until you see a sign? Just. thought, or just stay out of that wretched state...","replyToPid":0}
