finally got a ticket

So tonight I got my first since I just got my license. Now please tell me if you think this is BS bc I totally feel it is. So I will explain exactly what happened. I was going up the road, about to come up to a light which was just about to turn green. At the light itself the single lane turned into 2 lanes. Being that I was already moving, and there was nobody in the right lane, I decided to go in that lane, was doing the speed limit of the road, about 1/4 mile up the road the right lane ended so I did the right thing, signaled and merged into the other lane. Again doing the speed limit the entire time. Next thing I know the trooper passes the cars behind me and gets right up on my bumper, now I know what comes next..the lights start flashing. So in the end he hit me for illegally passing! I asked him 2 questions. 1) officer are you aloud to drive in that right lane. He said yes. 2) Was I speeding? he said no. I said well I used my blinker and that would be considered merging and he said he didn't want to hear it. Do you guys agree and think it will be an issue in court?
