I need to know what it is according to State of WV & I cant find anything on the web....
Most common RD charge is- 20MPH over posted speed limit, or in the citing officers opinion if you're driving too fast for the conditions. There are a slew of other things, such as: agressive driving, rapid, multiple lane changes, accidents that can get you an RD.
Thanks for the link but page wont stay so I can read it......sigh
And I did nothing that you listed! All I did was what I was told to do by the cop. I was sitting still he ordered me to move & when I did my van [which is rear wheeled dr & very light in the rear] spun wheels!! BTW this was in a parking lot. [Sorry for the vent I justneed to know the law so I will know how to handle this....36 yrs driving & never had a ticket before...gggrrr]

Make sure you get a court date. You don't want all those points on you.
Courts tonite or I can go Wed at 5 pm.
What gets me is the cop called for backup ...sheesh I had already stopped before he pulled me over. And the other officer told him to leave me alone...but I dont know the other guys name.
Sounds like the officer was having a bad day and you got caught in the line of fire. Go to court. Was anyone else with you? Why didn't he want you staying in the parking lot? Doesn't make sense at all.
Got a date for hearing [guess its called] March 4th.....
What he [the cop] said the ticket was for Was Not what he wrote....gang handwritting. Anyway the charge is Hazaedous Driving the fine is $107 and 3 points. None of which I want grrrr
So now I need information on Hazaedous Driving laws?????
I don't think you need a Lawyer. If your record is clean, that will speak volumes. Tell the Judge you were doing what you were instructed to do, the wheels spun as you were complying with his demand. My bet is it will be dismissed.
Unfortunately, I spend alot of time in traffic courts with my current occupation. Best results come from being polite, honest, and respectful. The Judges have heard all the excuses before, and probably see the officer once a week.
I think you'll be OK.
