His wording of the situation " The accused then proceeded to SMASH his helmet on the hood of the cruiser and placed his feet on the fender" I was lane splitting on the DVP at 5pm in dead stopped traffic, doing maybe 20-30km/h at max, and I got screwed hard, long, and painfully.
I have a parallalegal and that's all I can seriously afford, but he has a good track record and seems to have found some little loophole, I really hope the judge feels for me and lets me off, because as you said, it's a weeaaaakkkk charge and I think I've more than paid for my driving too close lesson by losing my bike, lic, and a juicy $965 impound fee.
Now I'm bikeless and very nervous as to how my case goes, because my situation has greatly improved from last year and my finances aren't so tight anymore, so I can afford a nicer bike, I would use some extra cash to upgrade my legal rep, but at this point it's too late, my court date is approx T-20 days.
A little wordy, but I can't sleep and I had to talk to somebody, the computer is like my buddies, nobody listens to me, lol.
