Generally dismissed charges aren't going to show on any criminal history or background report. Exceptions to this may be very high level security clearances. Even then, they aren't generally looking for things like renewing your registration a little bit late.

Can they ticket you? Yes. Will you be successful in having the charge dismissed? Maybe. Retain a criminal defense attorney to assist you.

A construction vehicle was in both right lanes of the street. The two left lanes and turning lane had no vehicles in them. Is it illegal to go around the obstruction using the turn lane?
