I received a $200 ticket on my Kawasaki Concours a few years ago in Connecticut. It was a three lane freeway, and I was in the middle lane, in a line of cars, moving exactly the same speed as the cars. Traffic flow was moving 10 mph over the limit, and traffic was heavy. It would have been unwise, and unsafe, to go slower.
The trooper pulled me out of the line of cars and ticketed me. A blatant case of "selective" law enforcement with a bias against motorcycles. That is also a factor at times. There are troopers who will pick out motorcycles, sports cars, and luxury vehicles - and let the Ford Taurus that was passing them go.
I paid the ticket, because on the summons it stated that if I mailed in the payment no points would be assessed. If I had fought the ticket and lost, it would have added court costs, points against my license, and corresponding higher insurance rates on all my vehicles for a few years. Not a worthwhile gamble to take.
