He may have cxited you for 40-6-48 but it was not subsection (1). Nice try though!

I'm betting its subsection (4)

(4) Official traffic-control devices may be erected directing specified traffic, including but not limited to buses or trucks, to use a designated lane or designating those lanes to be used by traffic moving in a particular direction regardless of the center of the roadway, and drivers of vehicles shall obey the directions of every such device;

That matches the exact description of you entering the right turn lane and instead of turning, going straight through the intersection. I don't see how the statutes you listed will help you out of this one.
