What was a bit amusing in retrospect, was that I dealt with this stuff as an attorney for four decades, including a decade as a general counsel dealing with 900 trucks. I always advised my drivers not to argue the law on the side of the road. My former trooper friend was starting to escalate with the officer, vehemently asserting that he was a first hand witness to me activating the turn signal, and pointing out that the dash and fender indicators were flashing. When it became obvious I was still going to get the moving violation, I asked him to back off. I politely told the officer this wasn't my first rodeo, and I would take him at his word, and see him in court.
He might have thought I was blowing smoke, but I hope he realized afterwards, he should have selected a more suitable victim. Most folks don't know the fine print of the Pennsylvania statutes. I do.
