If the lane wasn't dashed, but solid, you would not be allowed to move back to the left lane, but then again you would not be allowed to switch from the left lane to the exit lane either, right? If the line was solid, you wouldn't be able to use the exit lane for its purpose.
If the lane is for exiting only, and you switch back to the left lane after driving on it for a while, then I can see why you got a ticket.
I think a lot of traffic violations take place because we change our minds about either where we are going or how we intend to get there. Hence we do what you did, or take U-turns in places we shouldn't, etc. Y'know, cutting corners because it seems to make more sense. And oftentimes it does.
Still, a rather bullshit ticket. I don't agree with giving a ticket for driving without a seat belt on. As I see it, whether I wear a seat belt when I drive or not makes little contribution to the safety or lack thereof of others, only to that of myself. If I want to risk dying in even a small crash, then that's up to me and my stupidity.
