Dear Sir:
Over a year ago I was in Atlanta and was going south on
Peachtree. When I came to I 85, I was in the right hand lane
and made a right turn and had to wait to get back into the
traffie lane on 185. T waited for traffic to clear so T
could get on I 85 and was given a ticket for this. I wrote
you about this and explained what happened. This morning
again I was going south on Peachtree and made a special effort
to get in the second lane to where TIT could turn to get on the
Expressway and when I got to the Expressway, I turned off of
Peachtree. <A Police Officer on a motor cycle pulled me over
and said I had broken the law and gave me a citation for it.
Honestly, I don't understand how to get on or off of Peachtree
to the expres-way, because I have done both ways and have gotten
a ticket for it both times. My thinking on it is this; I was
using good horse sense judgement to keep traffic moving and
stay out of trouble too, but I hate to be classified as not
knowing how to drive, because I have been driving many, many
years, and it seems I can't do anything right at Peachtree and
IT 85. TI explained to the Officer what happened before and told
him I thought he should have given me a warning ticket instead
of giving me a ticket; however he didn't agree, so I am turning
the ticket over to you and hope that you will take this ticket
of the records because TI honestly do not feel that I should
pay for doing something that IT had done the way it had to be
done before. Tet me hear from you in regnrds to this.
Very truly yours,
Gog Udi!
