As I understand your question, you are saying the other driver was driving on the shoulder of the road to get to a turn lane that did not exist. If that car was entirely on the shoulder, you should fight the ticket. That car should have been ticketed for driving on the shoulder. I recently handled a civil personal injury case for someone who was in this exact situation only the cop ticketed the driver on the shoulder.
