Avoid Getting Ticketed For This Common Traffic Violation!

You’re driving downtown and you spot a rare open parking space just as you pass it on the other side of the street and there’s NO WAY you’re not getting that parking spot! So, you whip the wheel around to the left after making sure it was safe to cross over, double back a few yards and snag that space…Success!

That’s when the blue and red flashing light appears in your rearview mirror, and you get that tightness in your chest…is that for me?!?

Yup…it’s for you. Busted!

But why? You checked to make sure you were making a safe U-turn, so what’s the problem. The problem is you can’t make a U-Turn in a business district. It’s done all the time and most people don’t realize they’re placing themselves at risk of getting a ticket and more.

So, what else about making turns do you need to know that could cost you hundreds of dollars and turn a good day into a pile?
