Q: I received a “move over law” ticket from a state patrol. I could not move over at the time. Is it hard to fight this?
I was pulled over after I passed a state patrol to my right that had just got done pulling someone over. I tried slowing down to move over and the car to my left would slow down at the same time. I had just come over a hill not long before that. I want to fight it but afraid if it is worth it or not!
A: My view is go to court on each and every traffic citation to try to keep it off the drivers license record. Whether it was easy or not is best viewed afterwards. Always fight every one to the maximum. Step one is try to get the prosecution to agree to your desired outcome, and be willing to pay. Step two is to prepare to win a trial if need be. You already know having a lawyer helps.
