Re: Getting out of a ticket
In Michigan we have a similar law that was passed about 3 years ago. Too many police officers, firemen and EMT's have been getting creamed on the freeways.
In 14 years in I have never seen a citation dismissed because the statute number was wrong. The officier in court will testify to the offense written on the citation and the circumstances, not the statute number.
Good luck on claiming ignorance of the law....never saw that one work either.
I dont know about AK, but in Michigan a lot of courts will let you plead to a non reportable to driving record/no points charge if you have a good driving record. This stops you from getting raped later by your insurance company.
I am not sure about the AK drivers manual but the Michigan Motor vehicle code book is about 300 pages thick and has amendments all the time.
My advice is to see if you can work out a deal with either the officer or the prosecutor before you go into the courtroom.
