Здравствуйте я ваша тетя. Завтра мне идти в суд оспаривать штраф. Я, во-первых, думаю, что не виновата, и во-вторых, 11-летняя дочь будет присутсвовать (она присутствовала при том, как штраф дали, и уговорила меня, чтобы я ее взяла и на суд). То есть мне важно хорошо выступить также и перед дочерью.
И вот вопросы:
- Как обращаться к судье (или кто он там)? Your honor?
- Как это вообще бывает? Любые советы приветствуются.
- Ниже то, что я собираюсь сказать (и оно по-английски, извините). Что бы вы посоветовали изменить? (Brookline, MA) Спасибо!

I am not a good driver, but not because I am careless, it is because I sometimes fail to make the right decision quickly enough. I know that I am not a good driver, and  I am trying to learn, even if from my own mistakes, and I think I never repeat them.

About a year ago I got a ticket for turning left from the right lane (at that time, I was trying to change the lanes in a heavy traffic by signaling my intentions and trying to make an eye contact with some driver who would let me change the lanes  in front of him; meanwhile, I was inching forward, so that when I finally was able to change lanes it was right at the intersection.)

Since that event, I am particularly attentive to driving at the intersections. This is what happened when I was given this ticket:
I was driving on St. Paul street towards Beacon street, staying in the right of the two lanes, but the cars in front of me stopped more than two blocks before Beacon street, while there were almost no cars in the left lane.  I did not know whether the St. Paul and Beacon intersection was "Left only from left lane" or "right only from right lane" and my intentions were to cross Beacon and continue straight. Also, the lane in front of me could have been blocked for a reason unrelated to the intersection, it was still two blocks before it. So,  I changed the lanes, looking for the sign to tell me whether I was in the correct lane. As soon as I saw the sign (and it was the first sign, I checked the next day), I stopped, turned on right  turn lights, and waited for a driver to let me change lanes. There were 2 or 3 cars before the intersection; I think (but am not sure), that I did not cross the solid line between the lanes as I changed them.

The police officer who gave me the ticket told me that the ticket was for going straight from the lane for turning left only. At least, this is what my daughter and I heard and remembered.  I assure you that I did not do it.
When I came home, however, I saw that on the ticket it is written "keep right on hill/obstructed view, fl".
I do not see how any of my actions were wrong, and I do not understand what the officer states I did wrong. If you find me guilty, please explain. Thank you.

Советы приветствуются. Схемку пересечения дорог распечатала, знаки на ней нарисовала.
Еще раз спасибо!
