While traveling on I-4, a Trooper observed a Dodge Charger traveling at a high rate of speed suddenly cut off a white Tesla. The Trooper was so close that he observed the Tesla driver give the other driver the middle finger. The Dodge Charger then crossed a painted gore and cut off another vehicle before exiting I-4.
Our attorney noticed that the video did not show our client’s vehicle cutting anyone off and did not show him crossing the painted gore. There was also a discrepancy between the exit on video and the exit mentioned in the Trooper’s report. In fact, throughout the video, our client was operating the vehicle normally. The State wanted to argue that the Reckless driving conduct incident occurred before the video recording began. Prior to trial, the State amended the charge to a simple traffic ticket and our client paid a $164 fine and received no points.
