No way, the cop was definitely a dick...Honestly I can't see why you would get a ticket for something so non threatening as a "lane change". It was a simple accident, the OP probably got on the wrong lane by accident. If that was you, would you rather go on 1-85 to the next exit then U turn back? that makes no sense. That is a fucked up a rule IMO. How much is a fine for something like this? I can't imagine it being more than $50?
