Robert M. Khan: He swerved to avoid pothole and was ticketed
On Highway 99, between Lathrop and Manteca, the roads are not drivable. There are many potholes and the condition of the freeway is very poor. I received a ticket in this location for crossing the yellow line. When I told the officer that I did so because the road conditions were unsafe, he said he didn’t care. I received a citation for $268 simply for trying to drive safely instead of running straight into a pothole. Give us safe roads to drive on or find another reason to take our money.
