I guess this is a lucrative spot (5 years after the only other comment) because I just got a ticket at 7:30 p.m. in the middle of the week with fairly sparse traffic. Going east on Marine, the motorcycle was on the right side of the road with it's lights off. Couldn't see him in the dark until he lit up like a Christmas tree and aimed right at me. I was interested in the fact that the other comment mentioned that this seemed like a routine spot to nab people because they didn't ask for proof of registration or insurance. I didn't think of that until I read it, but I wasn't asked for proof of those things either. When I asked if I could get a warning (he wrote me for 52 in a 35 zone) he said not when he's risking his life on the road at night. I wanted to tell him that if he kept his lights on instead of going dark to trap people, he might be safer. I got the same line about I can do traffic school and it will be like I never got the ticket. Tickets are outrageously expensive and some of us don't have a job. He said that if I called and asked, they could extend the time for me to pay. No paycheck in January isn't going to yield any more than no paycheck in December. Happy Holidays from the Manhattan Beach P. D. (Bet they never give tickets to "their own")
