[QUOTE="Ken448, post: 4039205, member: 585333"] As a licensed driver, and by signing your drivers license, it is YOUR job to know the laws, and keep up to date with them. So an ignorance plea WILL NOT fly. I dont know the exact law in OH, but in MI, we are either required to: A: Change lanes and give ANY emergency vehicle a 1 lane buffer (police, fire, tow trucks, courtesy vans, etc) B: If it is not possible to change lanes, SLOW DOWN and pass carefully, giving as much room as possible to the stopped vehicle. This is pretty much acceptable ONLY in heavy traffic situations. If you are going to file a complaint about the officer, you may as well paint a big red X on your vehicle! Pick and choose your battles out there!!! If you go to court, take a witness (your friend) and offer him to the judge (or prosecuter) and have him speak AFTER you plead your case, and preferrably not in the room while you plead it. Also remember, most traffic stops are recorded..... [/QUOTE]
