Re: Getting out of a ticket
1. Your first idea has the greatest potential of getting you out of the ticket. Just make sure you know you are right before you try to argue it and have a back-up plan incase it doesn?t.
2. The only way your second idea will work for you is if you go with the deferred disposition or defensive driving. Other than that, having a ?near spotless? driving record won?t get you anywhere. Don?t even mention the word ?warning? because if warnings were only issued the courthouse wouldn?t be in business.
3. Don?t even try this one! True true true?.ignorance of the law is no excuse in all traffic laws. It?s an excuse they hear too much so I wouldn?t advise even mentioning it.
The law does sound like a chicken sh*t one. HOWEVER, it is a very important law that should be followed by everyone. It is more of a common sense thing than anything else. It should be a common courtesy no matter who is pulled over on the side of the road (cop, stranded motorist, construction crew?etc). As long as your head is anywhere but up your a*s, you should be able to move over long before you get to them.
It?s hard to understand the true value of this law unless you are on the side of the road with potentially deadly machines flying by you.
