California | Traffic Law
Legal Question
Last month I was cited a CZ = FAIL TO GO WITHOUT CAUTION AT INTERSECTION & SIGNAL OUT. (I am not sure if this is a misdemeanor or an infraction violation)
T wo weeks after this citation I recieved a mandatory court date.
The letter also stated that I was not eligible for traffic school.
I plan to contest the ticket because there wasn't any warning ahead to indicate the traffic lights were totally out. (due to transformer maintenance)
I hadn't contested any tickets before I niavely paid my fines not realizing that I was admitting guilt, therefore adding points to my driving record.
I obviously would like to win my case. I do not want to go to jail or face losing my licence.
Do I need a lawyer?
Is it worthwhile contesting the case by myself knowing that the courts will have the arresting police officer give his statement and I automatically lose my case?
Thankyou.
