Last time I checked, the rear wheels on most cars -- and certainly not on your FRS -- are completely unaffected by the steering wheel. Just go back and look for a few of my earlier posts.
You can totally dispute this one in court. And if you choose to do so afterwards, you'd also have a strong case for filing a complaint about the police officer being incompetent and ticketing you with the wrong law.
Would you also please let us know which officer it is that ticketed you?

Yes thanks for all the info everyone. I was looking over it before posting. I just wanted to share another example. I am pretty clear on the regulations now and can be armed with more specifics next time but it seems as you and the officer said they can issue the ticket regardless and its up to me to dispute.
Is disputing honestly an avenue worth exploring? My understanding is that it is quite expensive to do so and there is still a decent chance you will be found guilty.
I didn't remember to get his name and the signature is hard to read. Is there and index of the officer numbers publicly available?
