STATE of Washington, Appellant, v. Benjamin Tonelli PRADO, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

July 7, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

GROSSE, J.

¶ 1 Washington State's requirement that automobile drivers remain within a single lane of travel "as nearly as practicable" does not impose strict liability.1 A vehicle crossing over a lane once for one second by two tire widths does not, without more, constitute a traffic violation justifying a stop by a police officer. We affirm the superior court's RALJ decision.
