Message:: [QUOTE="CMoore2004, post: 279954, member: 11605"]Did your friend take it to court and lose or did he just pay it? I actually got a ticket from a trooper on a power trip because I was "weaving". After treating me like a criminal, accusing me of drinking and doing drugs, and searching my vehicle he gave me a ticket because he said I crossed the yellow line. I went to court and the pretrial lawyer told me she'd just make it a non-point violation for "impeding traffic" or something like that. When talking to my recruiter, he asked about a misdemeanor, and I told him even though I wasn't sure it was technically a misdemeanor, that I had gotten a ticket and it had been reduced; he asked what it was originally and I told him improper lane usage. I start school in about a week, so I got really lucky or it's not something huge. Maybe it's huge for insurance companies, though, and the lack of that actual violation was the deciding factor--I couldn't tell you for sure.[/QUOTE]
