What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Miami, Florida
I know that this scenario is really hard to beat but it really isn't right how I got this ticket.
I was driving my friends car with him and 3 other friends. We were coming back from Miccousukee on SR 90 (near the everglades) where the speed limit is 55 m.p.h on a 2 lane road with a solid yellow line. All was good and dandy till we met up with 2 cars who were going about 5-10 m.p.h. and braking every 2 seconds. It seems the car in front had ran out of gas and the car behind it was moving it bumper to bumper on the road itself not trying to get on the small emergency space 2 the right.
I waiting about 10 seconds behind these cars who had their emergency lights on, saw no one was coming from the opposite direction put my turn signal and proceeded to past them on the opposite road.
I explained this to the Miccousukee cop and he said 4 no reason whatsoever are you to pass another car. He made me sign the ticket and while I am signing a car passes on the middle of both roads to avoid hitting the police car and he jolts up and says " I'm gonna go and get those guys too".
My last option is to call 1 of those lawyers who work their magic and go to court to fight the ticket. But I want to know that if in this situation would I be able to fight this ticket on my own and win, especially if the cop himself shows up.
I'd really appreciate any replys.
