"Prevailing flow of traffic" isn't a viable defense. 90% of the time you can plead it down to an "improper equipment" or "seat belt" charge for a reduced fine and no points ... but there is the occasional Dudley Do-Right that doesn't budge (The court always asks if the officer will agree to __________ ).
