So wasn't in the plans but a buddy of mine got a kidney stone and had to leave after the 1:00 session. Other buddy was doing 2 days so i had no ride home. Put the street stuff on the bike and headed south on 395. With 1.5 miles to go a CT trooper lit me up in the left hand lane. I pulled over to the right hand lane and he was still behind me so i pulled in to break down lane. Trying to think what i did, I was running 75 like everyone else, put the fuse back in for brake and tail lights, put number plate back on. Forgot to put air back in the tires but thats not it obviously.
Took off helmet, shut off bike, pulled out license, reg and insurance. He said he pulled me over for passing on the right. He said "do you know you passed on the right" I said "no didn't realize it? so he said "i have it on camera". In my mind there was passing going on all day and passing a car on the right on the way home wasn't exactly in the forefront of my mind. So I said "I didn't realize it but if thats what I did then i didn't mean to." Basic and respectable conversation both ways.
He came back with a $132 ticket and said its not considered a moving violation and therefore no insurance hit. I guess being programmed all day not to pass on the left in the kink area carried over to the ride home. Also said he could have written me up for 78 in a 65 but didn't.
So i guess it could have been worse, but still out $132, unless CT has a good driver statute that can be used in this case?
