legal question about riding

Illegal lane change. Unless you turned from the right turn lane into the right lane, you changed lanes in an intersection, which is illegal. You'll have to check your state's laws, but most states have a law about changing lanes within so many feet of an intersection. While you were at it, I'm sure you didn't signal the lane changes, nor go the requisite distance between lane changes.

Add to that any "equipment violations" you may have, and you've got quite the ticket stack.

Of course, there are also the "reckless driving" and "too fast for conditions" charges that are really based on the individual officer's assessment.
