My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA
Hi - wondering if I was wrongly cited the other day on my way to work on my motorcycle. Two lane highway (one each direction) with solid double yellow lines down the middle. A car is ahead of me, with a bike cop ahead of the car. We're all traveling in the same direction. Car sees me, indicates right and moves over to the right side of the lane. I duly cruise past the car on the left hand (drivers) side. I didn't cross the double yellows and stayed in my lane the whole time. I was doing 5mph less than the posted speed limit. The cop immediately pulls me over and writes me up for 21754vc - "Unsafe Passing on the Right". Couple of things:
1) I didn't pass on the right, I passed on the left.
2) I didn't cross the double yellows - I thought lane sharing was allowed / tolerated in CA??
Any thoughts? I am planning to contest this ticket as it seems BS but would welcome any thoughts / opinions.
cheers
