See.... this is ONE reason why I wish I had pursued a career as a lawyer. This is total B.S. How can they accept a plea for a NON MOVING violation for an offense of NOT MOVING OVER for a cop while DRIVING a vehicle?? :hellno:
Don't get me wrong.... I think you got a good deal. But, if the cop says you didn't MOVE over, while MOVING your truck down the road and TRAPPED in the lane closest to him.... and INSISTS that you didn't SLOW DOWN while "moving" your vehicle.... well..... how can he allow a plea of NOT GUILTY to the moving violation and accept a NON MOVING violation plea? How could you endanger HIS LIFE, if you were NOT MOVING?????
As a "wouild be" lawyer.... I would HAVE to appeal this decision on the irrationality and contradiction of fact. I would ask the appeals court to rule that the lower court could NOT find you guilty of a "non moving violation" when the only charge and testimony given by the state was that it was a MOVING violation.
But, NEXT TIME.... if you can't move over, slow WAY down and put on your flashers. Hit the jakes even if you don't NEED them.
