. I might just do defensive driving if it will 100% stay off of my record and not take time away from work.
It's extra motivation to get out of the rice rocket and into something a little more refined that attracts less attention.

well, probably just a tough break..........
there will be NO evidence of the blinker, just like in 95% of traffic violations, because traffic violations are seen by the cops FIRST, then the lights come on which will activate audio/video.
go to court and see if the cop doesn't show up.

I think the law states that your signal has to be on for 100 ft before changing lanes/turning.
So even if your blinker went on for one click, you could still get a ticket.
I may be wrong, but I remember hearing that.

Ok, I got the same ticket. Let me guess its called failure to change lanes giving proper signal or something like that. There is actually a state law that states, one vehicle changing lanes will be required by law to signal a lane change for at least 100 feet before overtaking the lane. Its a bs law but it is real.
