I received a traffic infringement notice for "fail to give way while changing lanes on a multilane road". It was issued by a M/C officer who was in the right lane. I moved into the right lane to pass a slower moving vehicle. I considered the lane change safe, indicated correctly, etc. He stated there was insufficient distance between up (i.e. I cut him off).
The was no collision, no avoidance manoeuvre, no braking. He was not in my blind spot. I'd be watching him for at least a kilometre and had eyes on him in my mirrors as I changed lanes. Clearly a very subjective assessment on his part.
I notice he was wearing a camera on his helmet. Is it likely footage exists of the incident and if so, how would I go about requesting it? I'm willing to critically assess my actions but if it looks good to a reasonable person, I will take it to court.
