It was a gruelling experience and there is no rhyme or reason on how the judges rule on this violation. I've collected data for the past 4 months from the Fairfax County Court dockets and found over 100 cases with the "Move Over for Emergency Vehicle Violation" and only about 4 were dismissed and the remainder were found guilty. The problem isn't so much being found guilty, but being charged with a class 1 misdemeanor which remains on your driving record indefinitely. The rulings I witnessed were all over the place. Some judges only assessed small fines like $50, so the poor defendant thought they were ok, but the charge was not reduced thus they get stuck with the class 1. Some defendants were charge $100 to $500. I have a friend who's an attorney and he went along with me. We talked to the prosecutor to reduce the charge to a non DMV violation which was Failure to pay attention which will not show on my driving record at all and no points were assessed. The fine was only $50. Since I had a good driving record +5 points and the prosecutor was in a good mood, he went along. You can take your chances and plead not guilty and say you couldn't move over or you did slow down, but inevitably the judge will believe the officer and more than likely find you guilty with a class 1 misdemeanor. According to my attorney friend and from what I've discovered, only the prosecutor can reduce the actual charge. Also, if you obtain an attorney, their fees are up to $1000. You may be able to negotiate with the prosecutor yourself. I know this all may sound really complicated, but feel free to email me if you have any questions at nfloyd@erols.com. Good Luck!

I just got slapped with the same citation and it scares me when I see that it is actually a crimial offense. Thanks a lot. Hi Nikki, can you please let me know how your trial went?

I am definitely going to keep this around for my young son and Sunday school class. I am definitely going to commit Beyond Our Asking to memory. Thanks for sharing those poems.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Have a good one.
