ww,
I got the ticket closer to home. I crossed the carpool line just as it closed I didn't want to cut the gaper off, and couldn't make my move til I was at the double lines. Another guy was right behind me, but because I did it first, I got the ticket. Yeah, traffic school. Kinda sux driving at 65-70 when everyone is flying by at 80+.
CHP is all over now. Saw a bunch of people getting pulled over by Pearsonville. I pulled over for gas, and to eat my take out spaghetti, and to rest a few minutes. They were inside, and when they saw me they came over. Turns out someone reported me as wreckless and driving at excessive speeds. I told them I went over the line once, and fishtailed but got back in control. I was passing two motorhomes, and got a little too far to the left and my back tire hit the reflector lights and I fishtailed a little. I told him I was not driving at excessive speeds. It probably looked that way when I fishtailed, though. They asked about drinking, where I came from, what I was doing, etc. I told him I was hiking all day and bagged two peaks, starting at 7am. He was ok after that.
