Twin City, Minnesota.
It happened on a local road on my way home after work two days ago. The car in front of me was stopped and waiting to make a left turn, I passed him on the right side. The police issued a ticket to me then. The road has one lane on each side, but the lane is very wide which can pass two cars easily, there was a solid white line in the middle of the lane.
I saw people do it every day, so I didn't realize that will result in a ticket, I never heard any person got such a ticket either. The local speed limit is 35 mph, and my speed was about 15 mph when I passed. no any people were around there except the cop.
I'm a good driver and this is the first ticket I ever got. How should I defend myself if I choose to go to court?
