I thought you're suppose to pull in the closest lane, that would make alot more sense. Even thought the left lane moves faster, or is suppose to, getting into the left lane would be much easier and less dangerous than crossing that extra lane of traffic.

I don’t know. I live in IDAHO, I was just in court a few weeks ago and the prosecutor was just letting people go because the officers didn’t show up. if I was you i would just go to trial and see what happens, b/s the state cant prove anything.

Re: Girlfriends traffic ticket

In Washington the cop can be requested, along with witnesses, specialists, radar guys, etc, but they changed the law awhile ago by saying that a police report is a good enough statement. You need to get the police report before you go to court. Maybe there was a car traveling in the opoosire direction that she pulled in front of... "near accident" doesn't have to mean with the cop. However, that sounds like a ticket that can definently get dropped. Don't go into court saying the cop is wrong because the judge with say,"officerXXX has been trained to make accurate judgements." You need to say that he couldn't see over the hill, or there was a car in between and too hard to judge... Something like that. P.S. read that code on the ticket and get some details.

7 for 10 in court baby!!!

Re: Girlfriends traffic ticket

was she making a left hand turn or a right hand turn? cus if she was making a left and spedout infront of cars, or she simpley went slow as **** across the road, then yeh thats understand able. but making a right you have the right away. my friend got a ticket for making a left and not having the right of way and almost causing an accident.
