VT: Stop was based on RS despite def’s good reason for the alleged violation

The officer had reasonable suspicion to stop defendant for not driving in his traffic lane despite defendant’s argument that he moved over because the glare of headlights in his mirrors was blinding him. That’s a defense to the charge but doesn’t undermine the justification for the stop. State v. Howard, 2016 VT 49, 2016 Vt. LEXIS 47 (April 29, 2016).
