My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Kentucky
Hello all and thanks for reading . I would like to get some opinions on a citation that I received in Kentucky .
I was going west on a 4 lane rd ( speed limit is 35) while a van turned in front of me to get into the local gas station . I was heading straight , he was turning left .. Well, to keep from hitting the vehicle , I swung out left to avoid the collision . Now , as I did this , there was a police car coming at me ( east ) . The officer makes a u-turn then pulls me over . He asks why I swerved and of course I told him to keep from hitting the car that pulled out in front of me into the gas station . I hand over my insurance and all that jazz and he proceeds to write me a citation for careless driving .. Now , I guess my question is , what kind of chance do I have at beating this ?? Even on the citation the officer noted that I almost collided with another vehicle that was turning in front of me ? I do not feel like I did anything wrong at all , in fact , it prevented the collision . Any thoughts ?
