In a word - "no".

damn it, that was not what i was hoping for in a word.

btw- nice name you picked for this site

i know the da should plea down the passing
but hoping for more of a package deal.

last time i was in a guy had no reg, no inspection, no license and speeding ... ended up with the no license and that was all. i said one word - "wow"

"Passing" is generally not illegal, unless you did it say, in the oncoming traffic lane. What specifically did you get written up for?

As for a possible plea, it all depends on where you are. Certain counties are more lenient than others.

Or in the same lane Lane splitting isn't legal anywhere other than California.
Were you cited for the passing or just for the expired license?

cited for both (no pass zone) and unlicensed driver because it expired 7 months ago. i had no idea it was expired, its off the road for 7 months out of the year, and i only rode it a couple times last summer. first time ive ever slipped up on paperwork ... i even had my insurance re-instated the day before i got the ticket
hoping i can get it pleaded down.. maybe just to expired license, and a broken tail light
