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 I honestly do not feel that I should
pay for doing something that T had done the way it had to be
done before. Tet me hear from you in regnrds to this.
Very truly yours,
Gog Udi!
