Driving in the left lane, the passing lane I guess.

You can get a ticket for that?

Post the ticket so we can all see that you were totally in the wrong and are obviously spinning the story to play victim.

Driving left of center means you were crossing over middle into oncoming traffic, so sounds like it's really 2 tickets , one for speeding one for reckless driving.

Considered two separate violations. How much over the speed limit? Is the speed they wrote down accurate?

My last speeding ticket ( 91 in a 60 on a clear dry day ) cost me a $300 fine, plus $150 for a lawyer ( to get the points removed )

I don't know what driving left of centre is; if half the fine is for speeding, unless you were doing 180kmh, that's excessive.
Having said that, if an American drives like a typical American in my home state of Victoria they'll be going home with thousands of dollars in fines. Most of the time you won't even know you've been hit.

Googling suggests "left of center" is just another way of saying "wrong side of the road". Probably it indicates it was a road without a double yellow line.

Good. Hopefully you won't do it again.

We have a catalouge that applies to the entire country.
The fine (money and loss of the licence) depend on the speed, and if you were within or without the limit of built-up area: village, town, citywhatever.
My tickets ranged from 20 Euro min to 35 Euros max. The last oneoh no, a beep JewI hav

A normal speeding ticket (11-12 over) averages $160. A reckless driving ticket can be $500-$2500 and time in jail for 2nd/3rd offenses.
Hell, parking tickets are $75.
Sounds like reckless driving for crossing the yellow line since he had an attorney go with him.
Thats a clown question , BRO.

Maybe in your state, but in California, it's much higher. States have different fines. You should preface your post with "in my state (name of state), the fines are"
