I was in the left lane, it didn't even occour to me that I should cross 2 other lanes to pull over... shrug.. just an honest mistake. I hadn't ever been pulled over before on the highway, and it's my first moving violation.

Like I said, I'm not here to defend myself.. I admit what happened, I just want to know what to expect in court.

Update:

Didn't get to talk to an ADA or anything, talked to/made a deal directly with the officer. He dropped the 80 in a 55 and Failure to Yield, if I plead guilty to the Careless Driving.. It was the cheapest option.

I have to go take some drivers class, and go back to court in 90 days.. lol..

Oh well, at least he was nice about it... and I don't have 900$ in tickets anymore.

Jeez... $900 in tickets? At least you got out of some of it.

Guess its too late now, but couldn?t you have done a declaration by trial where you mail in your written plea and argument? You save yourself the time going to court. If you?re found guilty, you have one last chance to go to court in person. At least that?s how it works in CA. My wife got a ticket for making a left turn into a b-of-a parking lot. There was a sign posted for no left turn into the lot and my wife didn?t see it. We plead not guilty by mail, won, and got the bail amount back two weeks later. I?m prepared to do the same again because my wife got a speeding ticket few weeks ago?
