Talking a cop out of a ticket (and avoiding being pulled over in the first place) would be easier if the traffic laws were worded so control of a travel lane was the rule and staying right within the lane the exception, rather than the other way around.
Agreed. I carry a copy of the laws with me, just to make it easier for the officer to find them... . Of course those wallet size cards are also handy for handing out to motorists too.
