NJ Ticket 39:4-56 Delaying traffic

On February 5th 2009, on the way back from a dismal poker tournament performance, on a spare tire from the previous week's blowout mishap, I got a ticket. I was in the left lane on the NJ turnpike trying to pass two cars so I could take the truck side of the turnpike. When I realized I didn't have enough space to pass the two cars I slowed down and cut in between the two cars, crossed two lanes and made it to the truck side of the turnpike. Not even 5 seconds go by and I see the flashing red and blue lights that we all dread. I immediately pull over; the officer asks if I know why he's pulling me over. I respond, "I don't have a clue officer." He tells me that the car that I cut in front of had to "jam" on his breaks and that I could have caused an accident. Please, Jersey drivers are the worst drivers in the States, they don't need someone like me to cause an accident, they'll cause one themselves. At anyrate, he comes back and says he's cutting me a break by writing me a citation for "Creating Traffic Risk" statute number 39:4-56. I want to know how much I owe, so I look up the statue online.

39 : 4-56 .  Delaying traffic prohibited
    No person shall drive or conduct a vehicle in such condition, so constructed or so loaded, as to be likely to cause delay in traffic or accident to man, beast or property.

Maximum fine of $50 (NJ Statute 39:4-203) + $6 ($1 for the "Body Armor Replacement" fund, $1 for the "New Jersey Spinal Cord Research Fund", $1 for the "Autism Medical Research and Treatment Fund", 2$ for the "New Jersey Forensic DNA Laboratory Fund", $1 for the "New Jersey Brain Injury Research Fund"; all found in statute 39:5-41), no points.

In looking at all of the statutes and possible things you can get tickets for while driving and parked is ridiculous. I guess he did "cut [me] a break".
