Re: Well, guess what?

I don't mind the move-over law, almost every state has adopted it over the past few years. I believe the law states you have to move over one lane unless it's unsafe in the current conditions (like lots of traffic on your left), then just slow down.

I saw a number on how many move-over violations they give every year, it's a surprisingly high amount. On their website it claims most people haven't even heard of the law, which is strange because I see signs for it everywhere on the interstate.

I always recommend fighting tickets if you felt you didn't deserve it, but in this case it seems clear you could have at least moved half way over the center line and you probably wouldn't have gotten a ticket, especially if you were turning right after.
