    Unhappy Driving on the Shoulder

    State of Washington
    Violation code: 4661.670

    As I was driving home from school down a road I usually take home, my front left wheel seemed to be stuck in a grove around the middle of the street. I over corrected to the right and happened to enter the shoulder of the road. Already freaked out, I followed the curvature of the road back into my lane but not fast enough for a PO to see me. I explained to him my story but he fined me with a $124 ticket. Anyway to get out of this or lower the price?

    Did you go back to take pictures of the groove in the road, that was wide enough to catch and hold your wheel?
