Carol Elisabeth Haynes appeals from her conviction for failure to maintain her lane,1 reckless driving,2 driving under the influence of alcohol to the extent it was less safe to drive3 DUI less safe, and driving within the gore.4 She contends that the trial court erred by 1 not permitting her counsel to withdraw for the motion for new trial hearing, 2 conducting an unreported bench conference with her counsel outside her presence, 3 failing to allow her expert witnesses to testify as to certain matters, and 4 not allowing trial counsel sufficient time to prepare for her motion for new trial. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.

Construed in favor of the verdict,5 the record shows that at approximately 1:40 a.m. one Saturday morning, a police officer observed Haynes driving north on Interstate 75 and having trouble staying in her lane. The officer watched Haynes as her tires fully crossed each side of her lane at least twice. The officer continued to observe Haynes as she exited her lane and drove across the gore onto the exit ramp for Howell Mill Road. Due to her speed, Haynes was unable to stop before partially entering the intersection at the end of the exit ramp. The officer followed Haynes as she turned right, and based on Haynes’s poor driving, the officer initiated a traffic stop.
