U-Turn?
I got ticked for disobey u-turn sign, but I drove into the parking lot before making the u-turn and then stop at the 'stop' sign before continuing. Does that still consider an illegal u-turn?

Re: U-Turn?
Well unless the road you turned on to also had a No U-turn sign that I couldn't see... you didn't disobey the U-turn sign. The "NO U-TURN" only applies on the highway it's posted on, not to other roads in the vicinity.
Re: U-Turn?
Funny how I can see the cop in the video.
I agree with RI those markings are not valid with HTA
But to do that in front of a cop is not a good idea.

Re: U-Turn?
Thanks for the advice. I just want to give everyone an update. So I went to court and show the prosecutor this video and he just quietly said that he is going to withdraw his case and I am free to go. I must said that the dash cam just save me $110. No way I would win this case without evidence.
Re: U-Turn?
FYI This is where I got my dash cam. Very affordable. Hope this will help other driver

Hi,
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
The combination of…
