Reckless Operation - Worth Fighting?
Hey,
Do you think it's worth fighting a reckless operation charge? Let me explain the scenario (this is 100% truthful). I was behind a friend (ricer - Ford Probe, blue neons, straight pipes (loud as shit), and a spoiler); so right there, his car draws attention (I'm in a 99 Camaro RS).
Behind him at the top light, me and my friend Jake decide "hey, lets not go to the place we're going, but lets go here instead". So off of the light, I go around him, and get in front of him to turn left, but then realize "this isn't the right way" so I go back in the right lane...and turn into a parking lot to turn around.
At no point was I ever over the speed limit, I signaled all 3 lane changes, never squealed tires, tailgated, jerked the car, or cut him off.
That IS the honest truth, and I was cited for 'reckless operation' because we were 'racing'. Do you think this is worth fighting in court? It would be my first offence of any sort.
Let Me Know,
Thanks,
Kevin
