What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
My wife passed a 'vehicle' with flashing light at normal speed on a free way last night. A police stopped her car and gave her a ticket "Ted Foss, move over" because she didn't change lane or reduce speed.
But my wife told me that the equipment with flashing light is not a police car or other moving vehicle, it is actually some kind of trailer with 3 wheels. Can it be classified as an 'emergency vehicle'? The police told my wife that she passed 'squad light' but not any vehicle.
It is her first traffic ticket ever. Do we have an argument here or should we just try plea bargin to pay the fine without leaving a record?
Thank you very much!
