Illegal U-Turn ticket $600+!?
 

Long story short... Veteran's day and shops are closed so the street is hella dark, not to mention the yield on green/no u-turn sign is graffitied to **** and i got a ticket for a illegal U-turn violation.

the officer that cited me said that the ticket will be around $150 more or less but i just got the notification from the court today and the ticket is over $600..

what is going on here?

*sees OP's location* makes sense

shut up :icon18:

LOL!:icon18:

take a picture of the sign and go to court and fight it if the sign is that bad.

Well if you have proof that the cop said it would be only 150 you may be able to bring that up when you fight it, if not its hard to use that as a defense....but 600 is a lot, that sucks.

Damn dude, $600...ouch, I really hope you dont have to eat that, that would suck for anyone and everyone.

isnt it obvious? you broke the law and did an illegal u-turn....

$600 for an illegal uturn is a lil ridiculous...

there ought to be specific fines for a specific offense right?

ALWAYS go to court and fight tickets. You will, at the very least, get a substantial reduction in cost. Since it was done with virtuially no other cars on the road at the time, you have a good bargaining chip right there.

Courts are so overloaded with serious schit...when minor traffic violations are contested, they will usually sit you down with an assistant D.A. and in a couple of minutes you'll be on your way having pleaded to a lesser offense or similar...

Still, that just blows. :shakes head:

The whole deal sucks though, I woulda laughed in the cops face... $600... are you serious bro?!?!

sorry but I can't stand when people make these kinds of replies. Not all laws are just. Petty laws do exist.

:iagree:
