Okay, so I was driving around one night, thankfully not in my SVT Contour or my 54 Ford F100 street rod, and came up to a stop sign. I paused for a few moments, and looked to see if anybody was coming, I couldn't see anybody coming...so I crept up a little bit farther. As I did this, I noticed someone coming in the junction, so I stopped, since I was not in the intersection yet anyway, to let the through traffic go. Evidently the person coming up behind me thought I was going and didn't apply the correct amount of brake to stop in time. I got hit, and got a ticket for "failure to obey a stop sign" although I was stopped at the stop sign. I fought the ticket and the officer said that I had used reverse to back up out of the intersection. I had witnesses to say that I was in NO WAY backing up or in the intersection enough to cause an accident, and I still go the ticket.
Could someone please explain to me why I got hit, got the ticket, and it was my fault.
An unrelated matter, but I am trying to figure this out as well, I was going 56 in a 55, and got a speeding ticket on a bright sunny day by the same officer, when someone had just passed me and was pulling away...could someone explain that to me as well if possible, because I am dumbfounded.:shrug:
Thank you guys and gals in advance!
