East Texas AttorneyDrive Right Side of Roadway/Maintain Single Lane
Does a driver have to fully cross the center line and if so, for how long in order for there to be a violation of failure to drive on the right side of the roadway? There is no evidence showing lack of safety for failure to maintain a single lane.
