Possibly a counterclaim instead of a motion.

The common mistake here is that you attempted to explain the cause - to attorneys! They might have understood your timely Refusal for Cause if you would have just left it explaining the right of refusal, if you refuse for cause timely. So you tried to explain the law to attorneys, did you?

I am gathering the cop took a left turn from the wrong lane and nearly got hit for it; and then decided to blame you for not seeing him? If he had charged you with reckless driving or something you might have a problem. If this gets to trial the jury might have a time understanding the facts as a crime! BTW is there such an offense? Have you looked at that statute cited on the ticket in the Revised Statutes? It seems rediculous but they may badger you pretty hard to drive you into a plea bargain - to admit to turning left from a left turn lane like you did!
