7:32am this morning. U-turn made at lights. Still dark out -- very tired. Cop pulls me over in parking lot. Comes up, tells me "I pulled you over for the u-turn at such and such a street". Same shit, different day. I get a ticket for $69 little ones (good ole` CDN dollar).

I want to fight this ticket because it's (supposedly) three demerits. I know what I did wrong; never admitted to it, just don't want the points against me. You guys recommend I fight it? Should I plead "reg. owner", "not guilty" or "guilty"?

Let me know, I don't really care about such a bullshit ticket, but at the end of the day, I want to feel better about helping fight the system!

Cheers! :)

Just go fight it, I got a U-Turn ticket a few years back and won in court!

Just mention why some places have specifically a "No U-turn" sign while others don't and that you are under the assumption that U-Turns are indeed legal when its safe:bullshit: :thumbsup:

I always though u-turns were illegal at intersections with lights and where posted :dunno:

I'd still try and fight it though :dunno:

Oh I'm going to fight it, there's no question. If Benny can have his "honking being an idiot" ticket reduced/deleted, so can I! :)

Just need to know what to plead! :confused: :)

I dont think its three demerits for Illegal U-Turn...but this one is an actual set in stone moving violation so it is more dificult to fight...mine was stunting, which is so broad...anyways, good luck:thumbsup:

So is it "illegal u-turn" or is it for "failure to observe traffic signs" or something like that

Yah man, you know I will!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

For some reason, I'm not upset/disturbed by the fact I was pulled over. Granted it was probably because I had slept 2hrs that night (thanks to my god-damn early morning meeting), but frankly, the cop was ok, I was ok, and now I'm gonna fight it. No sign, the light was green turning yellow.

Cheers!

I just got a ticket on friday for illegal left turn. I'm gonna go see the prosecutor but don't know when I can go?

Anyways you used to be able to turn left before 9 or 9:30...I went everyday last year.

First time this year (after construction on crowchild) I turn in and a cop waves me down. They changed the sign to no left turns at any time.

Gonna try to get the ticket dropped, if not, then reduced to a R.O.

Its illegal to do a u-turn basiclly any ware... the only place it is allowed is in a uncontrolled intersection....


buy your self a highway traffic act booklet, youll be amazed at how much shit is illegal.

Yeah uncontrolled intersections you can do "three-point U-turns" which is basically like turning at every street until you've done a big u-turn.

U-turns as we know them are illegal everywhere. For good reason too.
