signal light was on. if not, i'm sure i would have been warned to ticketed for it. i plan to go to at least contest it. i do not see where i was in the wrong and don't believe anybody around me was in danger or had to jam the brakes or do anything to avoid me. i had a clean clear shot.

did you change two lanes at once? if you did then that is unsafe, cause most people change one lane at a time.

Not really since everytime I've been pulled over (20+times in 18 years of driving) it was because I was doing something wrong

that made no sense. this makes me think of something i'm sure everyones mother tells them at a very young age...."son, if all your friends were to go jump off of a bridge, that doesn't mean you need to do it too." besides, who is to say what's safe, and what isn't? is it more unsafe to have a congestion of traffic because people are too timid and scared behind the wheel which causes drivers to want to pass which they should be entitled to? Or is it more unsafe for those passing drivers to want to change lanes to avoid the slow movers who shouldn't be driving in the first place. Kind of like when you see an 80 year old person behind the wheel wearing 2 inch thick glasses, head two inches behind the windshield because her seat is up so far, and driving 25 mph in a 40 mph zone. don't you think maybe they should be ticketed for not obeying the speed limit as well as go to dmv to take another dmv written test, driving test, and vision check??? in my case, why shouldn't the leader of the group in the fast lane that day been ticketed for going to slow in the fast lane of I95??????????????????

this isn't necessarily true. for instance, i had an import in which I had over $100k invested into in mods/extras. I was looking for a cruise night last summer, my brother behind me in his car, going 37 in a 35 zone. Although both cars were heavily modded, neither of us were doing anything wrong and the cars were very quiet; no loud bumblebee exhausts. Anyhow, cruising along to the next spot and pass a city cop. All of a sudden get pulled over. Not doing wrong. Told me the car had too many mods and he could've given me tickets for exhaust, lights, shaved door handles, etc... Luckily he was pretty nice and told us to go home. I know there were non street legal parts on the car, but here's my point. When's the last time you've seen a 69 camaro with a huge blower sticking out of the hood, tubbed w/ slicks, that was louder than Mark Martins sprint cup car pulled over on the side of the road for illegal aftermarket equip? Don't get me wrong, most police officers are super cool, but this is a scenario that happens way to often for most of us and it's just not fair.
