Passing on a double-yellow line. I just got pulled over while speeding after passing a car over a double yellow line on my bike while responding to an emergency and the cop cut me a brake and let go of the speeding but gave me the passing in a no passing zone instead. Does the DA usually reduce that to a parking or something if I plead not guilty and try to negotiate? How bad is that? I am trying to keep points off because 3 more points and I am fuc*ed

 

Could probably reduce it to Failure to Obey Traffic Control Device. Don't believe it warrants any points, at least mine didnt.

 

just ask them to reduce to a NMV and let them decide which one to use.

 

Sounds good to me. Shit I'd be willing to reduce it to a parking violation even if I had to pay $200. Anything but points!!!

 

Can you go to traffic school? I don't think it's a no traffic school offense.

 

I already did within the past 3 years

 

you should save those for the really good ones

 

It seems like you get a ticket every 5 or 6 months.

 

Actually Marshy, I do.

7th ticket pending, no points. Been licensed about 3 years..

 

In Cali you can go every 18 months

The good ones, you don't qualify for traffic school
