Hi,
I need advise for the ticket I got today. I live in Seattle, WA and was driving down in the inner lane on I-5... I made a lane change as the car behind me was tailgating me. The cop claimed that I cut off a semi while I was changing the lane and the semi had to brake to avoid slamming into me.
I have 2 other passengers in my car and witness to the fact that I did not cut that close to the semi. The semi did not even honk (if supposedly I was cutting close to the semi).
I have a perfect driving record and would like to contest the infraction. Is this the right approach? Also, if I were to go to court, what's the chance of the case being dismissed, and if so, how much would I have to pay for court fees in the state of WA? I'm trying to save money and not let this incident be on the record... any advise, suggestion will be greatly appreciated?
Thanks,
Princess
