What is the name of your state? Virginia
I was driving on the Interstate at 6:00AM, on August 14th. It was my first day out at 6:00AM since May, as I was transporting a student, and school was back in session.
Normally I pull over for any trooper who has a vehicle pulled over, but this time, I guess I just wasn't thinking and I didn't. He cited me for this fairly new (2 years, I think) law regarding moving over for an emergency vehicle on the side of the road.
My driving record has no blemishes on it. A ticket stays on it for 5 years, I believe....but it has been 10 or 15 since I have had any kind of an incident.
Can you please tell me how I might [plead my case to perhaps get the judge to dismiss it? This trooper (who cited me) and his seargant are working with V-Dot to have signs put up informing that people should move over. This area is a speed trap. (His seargant told me I should explain to the judge that there are no signs and that they are working towards that.)
I transport a student to a school and travel the interstate 2 round trips a day and have done it for 5 years going through all of the speed traps and never getting into any trouble.
My court date is tomorrow. Please help me.
Kindest regards
