I was at a 4 way stop turning left.. It was my turn to go.. As I start to move forward and begin to turn left, this ******* in a silverado comes barreling thru the intersection (coming at me head on) so I have to hit the breaks and keep going forward... If I would have kept turning he would have t-boned me so I"m pissed and punch it as I turn and I know he heard me..
Unbeknowing to me... Theres a sheriff directly to my right... Hears my car (which is ungodly loud) and pulls me over..
He asked me why I did that right in front of him and I asked him if he'd seen the jerk that almost t-boned me... No.. Of course he didn't..
SO he wrote me a reckless driving ticket for "spinning tires on dry pavement"..
NOW...... My tires DO NOT SQUEAL OR LEAVE MARKS... period...
It is only the officer's word against mine.. I do have to see the judge for this..
I believe it is Montana law that the officer has to show up to testify or the case gets dropped.. So I plan to plead not guilty and go from there..
What are my options here?
There is no hard physical evidence.. I wasn't speeding.. No radar.. No marks.
