REDUCED | RECKLESS DRIVING/AGGRESSIVE DRIVING REDUCED to “speeding” and “weaving” tickets – State v. Mr. G. (DMC No. 4584) (West Mesa Justice Court TR04-04312 CR): Mr. G. was on the 101 north bound near Chaparral Road when he began “road raging” with another truck. He was tail gating the truck, and then he shifted lanes so quickly he came directly behind the officers unmarked police car. He then snapped back in front of the truck, and flipped him off after he hit his brakes. He then took off at 79 MPH and the officer pulled him over. Mr. G. admitted he had lost his cool with the other driver. Because Mr. G. was so young, we were able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the “reckless driving” and “aggressive driving” charges (which carried potential jail time and would have cost Mr. G. his license) down to a “speeding” and “weaving” ticket with a fine and traffic school only.
