Returning from Lake Tahoe to Seattle on California sr 87, a winding, mountain, two lane road in my truck camper pulling my boat I was ticket ed by CHP for lane violation! Officer observed that on this twisted, winding road I failed to maintain my lane. Ticket cost $238. Public safety or revenue inhansment?

Probably both. Revenue enhancement and Public Safety. If you were out of your lane on a turn, you could have hit another vehicle.

The $238 appears to be self explanatory.
You could have received a warning and the Officer would have done his job, protecting you and other motorists.
The State of California is now $238 richer. Unfortunately at your expense.
