What were you cited for?

RCW 46.61.290 says:

Required position and method of turning at intersections.

"The driver of a vehicle intending to turn shall do so as follows:

(1) Right turns. Both the approach for a right turn and a right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway."

It might be a good idea to consult with a lawyer to see if there is a way to beat the ticket.
