Re: Getting out of a ticket
I looked in the California Driver Manual and couldn't find anything about changing lanes while going past stopped cars, etc. It may be a good idea but with the traffic around here, it could be more dangerous to change lanes.
It did mention double fines in construction zones.
This is a new one on me (changing lanes). 
Best regards, Happy Jack

Re: Getting out of a ticket
I have no idea if it a law down here or not but I have always pull over at least one lane when passing an emergency or disabled vehicle when possible. If changing lanes is not possible I slow down.

Re: Getting out of a ticket
OK, so you messed up a bit. Now we try to minimize the end result. With a good driving record, I suggest going to court, talking to the assist DA or who ever is prosecuting the case, before the trial. Explain the circumstances why you didn't pull over, what you did do correctly (slowing down, etc), your spotless driving record, express that you are sorry, and ask if it could be reduced to a non moving violation (bad tire, bad muffler). You'll pay a fine and not have the insurance issue.
Good luck.
NY just added this law in the last couple years as well.
