My question involves traffic court in the State of: Pennsylvania
I received a citation in the mail on information received. The charge was for overtaking vehicle on the left. Basically someone claims that I ran them off the road. I plead not guilty and went in front of the District Magistrate but was found guilty because the Magistrate said that someone would not go through following me to get my plate number then calling the police if it was not true. Right before he gave the verdict he offered me a plea for no points but I stupidly turned him down because it didn't happen. I drive truck for a living & 3 points on my license is no big deal but it puts me on the edge because if I were to get another ticket I could lose my job. So if I appeal to the Court of Common Pleas would it be possible for the DA to reduce the charge?
