New: ticket-avoidance-mode for Model S.

[Need]

I was totally surprised to get my first moving violation in decades on my first road trip out of state. The law they say I violated is supposed to be a law in California too, since 2007. After I got the ticket I noticed that everyone in Wyoming is doing as the officer said, pull out of the right lane when there is something parked on the shoulder. $250!!

Now don't get me wrong. I don't wanna hit an officer, but the officer in question was on the OTHER side of the car he had pulled over. But like clockwork every one I passed after the ticket had vehicles pulling out of the right lane. Then I left Wyoming and the whole drive back and all the time since I got back I have observed NO ONE pulling over one lane. QUITE frustrating.

Anyone else been bit by this? I really thought moving to a self (ish) driving car would allow me to forget about getting a ticket for not noticing a speed limit change (my last ticket from the early days of my marriage) or any other laws that the car would be smart enough to know. I was very taken aback to be bit so fast after getting the new car.

If he is at the other side of the car that he pulled over. How did you get a ticket? You were looking at him and he waved you to the side to wait for him to finish that car first and write you a ticket after? Or did he remember your car and chase you down 10 min later?

Decades ago I was on a cross country road trip and got pulled over in Wyoming. I asked what I did wrong and he said "I saw you had California plates and decided to pull you over and write you a ticket". Unbelievable brashness. Revenue collection praying on "out of towners".
You basically drove through an unmarked toll road...

(the ticket was written up saying I was going 1mph over the speed limit)

They know you are unlikely to come back to fight it in court.
