Fines for Illegal U-Turns in California are Outrageous
We have all done it at least once or twice, especially if we are lost and looking for our destination. You speed past your turn so you just do a quick U-turn down the road a bit to get back to where you were supposed to turn; however, that U-turn may be illegal. Some turns are improper and illegal because of the circumstances or location of the turn. Of course, making a U-Turn at intersections and in places where “NO U-TURN” signs are posted is definitely illegal and may result in a California traffic ticket.Ticket Snipers can help you fight a California traffic ticket for an illegal U-turn.
