Traffic violation procedures
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Does anyone here have experience dealing with traffic citations? I could really use some advice on the smartest way to play this:
I was passing a line of two cars, but the third vehicle was far enough away from the others that it shouldn't even be counted as part of the same cluster. To make matters worse, I started the pass on a dashed line but ended up crossing over a solid one. Now, they’re charging me with passing a four-car line across a solid line—honestly, I have no clue where they even found a fourth vehicle. After the incident, the officers followed me in their cruiser for about 6.2 miles before finally pulling me over. They explained why they stopped me, scribbled the citation in a notebook, and let me go. I didn't sign anything, so I haven't technically admitted fault. Plus, I have my passenger there as a witness. What kind of options am I looking at here? Is there a realistic chance an appeal would actually work? Please, I need a quick response—I've only got 7 days left...
