Just got my first taste of this csa 2010 or whatever. Traveling S. on I-95 last wk. A little S. of Richmond, MM# 50. I noticed speed trap set up, so I checked my speed and I'm good. I top a hill, there is a slight curve to the right and as it straightens out I see a car on the shoulder and another one in front of it. I check and its not safe to change lanes. I go a little further and I see the FRONT car is an unmarked State trooper. I check again and there is a pu trk in the left lane so I cant take it. So, I slow down ( my left signal on ) and I get on the zipper and go on by. 8 miles down the road I get stopped and get a ticket for " failure to yield the rt. of way to an emergency vehicle on the shoulder " I asked what did I do and he said I did not change lanes. I told him not safe to do, so slowed down, and he responded with plz let me see you lic. 5 min later I had a ticket.

    driver you should go to court and fight it , if you did what you said you did then you owe it to yourself and your record . dont let this trooper trash your record. you can cross examine him on the stand and bring out the truth.

    Hate to say it, but that is not CSA 2010. That is the law. Whether you are in the car or a big truck, they can ticket you for not yielding properly to an emergency vehicle. I got one in my car. BUT, like the previous post, take it to court. I had a lawyer have the ticket taken off by showing up in court. It is his word against yours. Does not hurt to try. Good luck.

    Most signs say Yield right of way or Slow down ..maybe take a picture of sign and take to court with you.
