I just went in to traffic court for my "failure to keep right" ticket, that I got in march or april's critical mass.

Like I had read on freewheels' website, the relevant statute (VTL 1234 -- which requires you to ride on the right side of the road) is not valid in NYC, because of rule number RCNY 4-02.

The judge tried me last, and since the cop didn't show, I had a minute to ask him to confirm the above interpretation. He confirmed it after som hemming and hawing.

Message: unless you can't spare a nice day off from work, don't plead guilty for fear of having a worse penaly after being found guilty. Your case will be dismissed.
