Default improper lane change?

anyone know how bad this ticket is? got one tonight.. some backroad.. dude going WAY to slow, person in front of me passes him, as soon as he completed teh pass, i looked, tehre was room, so i made the pass. i got pulled.. guy in front of me didnt though?? thought never crossed my mind it was a no passing zone since the person in front of me had jsut passed. cop was very nice about it said it was only a $30 fine.. jsut wondering how serious it is on my record as far as insurance and such

the solid middle line would be a clue to the fact that there is no passing.

30 fine 44 dollars for a court fee.

is it your first offense? if so go to court and plead no contest and you'll get it dropped. my advice, take whatever he can give you to not be charged. if he says comm service and fines take it. anything is worse than getting it on your record...

just pay the fine because if you go to court you will have to pay an extra $42 for court costs. also, any moving violation affects insurance.

"just pay the fine because if you go to court you will have to pay an extra $42 for court costs. also, any moving violation affects insurance."

....mmm i wouldnt agree with you on that, you still have to pay court fees' even if you dont appear in court. legally its just a minor traffic violation and if its a first offence he will just say " are you going to do it again" and then you say "no sir" and shut up and then you will probably get com service and a fine and it will get dismissed...it will still be there if someone looks but it wont say gulity it will just said that the charge was dropped. if you send your money in your just admiting that your guilty and dont really care about what goes on your record.

They can write almost anything up as wreckless

Basically it's a CYA charge. They don't know what it is or want to add some more charges ... put a wreckless. It almost always gets knocked down at trial though.

At least that's what I've been told.
