Default Got a ticket today

I have been driving vettes for ten years now, and got the first ticket of my life today.....in a minivan. I am in California on business (live in AZ), and was merging on the freeway when the semi in the center lane changed to the right lane, forcing me to the emergency lane. I sped up and pulled in front of the semi. Apparently the CHP officer watching didn't like that too much, and cited me for an unsafe turning maneuver.
Anyway I am going to fight the ticket through Trial by Written Declaration and see how it turns out. On that note has anyone used the info on www.ticketassassin.com? The guy seems to have a pretty strong following.
I don't know what upsets me more, the ticket, or the fact I got it while in a Pontiac minivan.
