What is the name of your state?: Arkansas (Fayetteville, AR 72704)
I was pretty taken aback by this. Maybe I can get some advice on it. I was driving home from work, and decided to change lanes (I was in the right lane of a 4 lane, divided street). I was nearly at a stop, so I put my vehicle in 1st gear, and tried to change lanes. Being new to driving a standard transmission vehicle, I 'spun out' my back tires for a second (not long). I was then pulled over a short time later, and given a ticket for 'careless driving'. Any research I did on the subject looks like it pertains to illegal turns, speeding, running a light, ect. As far as I can tell, I broke no laws. Can anyone give me their thoughts on this?
