So last week I was driving north on I-287 home with my two daughters in the back. As I approached Exit 4 there was a heavy merge from the local traffic. I moved over to the middle lane (signaling, not speeding) and then after I passed the bulk of the merge, I moved back over to the right to prepare to exit (3)
Got pulled over by an undercover trooper who said changing lanes like that is considered careless driving.
Honest to god I thought I was being courteous letting people in - but I guess the town of Edison needs my $185 and 2 points on my (previously clean for 10 years) license. Based on this experience I will be the type of person who won't get out of the right lane and who will be tapping on their brakes to let cars in instead of moving to a clear lane.
I'm was really mad about it and have until Monday to plead. I'm thinking to plead not guilty and go to court. Do you guys think I'm crazy? I mean no way I can win unless the freakin trooper is a no show right?
