For all intents and purposes, I passed correctly.. He gave me the ticket for using the left lane..
I also do not currently have 8 points, I have 5 possibly 6, in the last 10 years. My 2nd 2 point ticket came when my first 2 pointer was almost 2 years old, but not quite long enough for the points to be gone. I know points are points, and it sucks to have them, but none of them were crazy moving violations. All speeding, less than 10mph over. They didnt seem worth fighting at the time, that might have just been a bad decision on my part.

After reading this you need to go fight this. Your saying you were driving down a 4 lane road? As in 4 lanes going the one direction? And you got pulled over for driving in the left for using a middle lane?
Even if thats not that case go and represent yourself. Yes the legal system can be quite rigged BUT its totally untrue that people dont win. Yes you need to be smart, and ask the right questions but its definitely doable. My friends step father completely humiliated an officer in court and tore his bs argument down on a pacing ticket. And to boot hes a bearded rough looking biker.
You honestly need to go in there like you know exactly what your talking about and ask him a bunch of questions you know he wont be able to answer and come off good. Start by asking him how well he recalls the incident. Right off the bat you'll have him against a wall because hes either gotta say not well and look shoddy or say well and need to answer every little nit picky question you choose to ask him.
The point is to make him loose credibility in front of the judge. This is exactly how my friends stepfather won his case. You gotta get them to say they'll be able to provide every little detail and then grill them on it. When they come up short on a question you stick it to them and ask them well if they're unsure of that detail how can they be sure you were really improperly passing?
All that coupled with the fact that your actually right will win your case. And if speed even comes up then all you have to say is if you were really pulling me over for going faster than you than why didnt you properly pace me and issue me the correct ticket?
