A friend drove in the left breakdown lane on an interstate highway and received three infractions: 14-236: Failure to use proper lane; 14-222: Reckless driving; 14-232: Unsafe passing.
Speed was 15-25 mph and the traffic was slow moving. The driver of the lead car was offered AER program, but my friend was not even though he has no priors.
Is this reasonable or excessive? While I don't condone the act of passing traffic in the breakdown lane, it seems that losing your license for 6 months and $750+ in fines is a bit excessive. What are the options in this case?
