How Do You Avoid Common Traffic Tickets Other Than Speeding?
Ignorance of the law is no excuse, they say, but sometimes we just don’t know. What is the general rule about going through a yellow light? Making U-turns? Going too slowly? Using turnouts? Take the time to find out … and take your time to drive with care. Come to a complete stop at a stop sign and where a right turn is allowed at a red light. Drivers making rolling, “California” stops are easy prey. Proceed through an intersection only if the front of your vehicle has entered (crossed the limit line or marked or unmarked crosswalk line) before a stoplight turns red and it is safe to do so. In most states, you have not run a red light if your front bumper is in the intersection when the light becomes red. Refrain from making a U-turn in a business district or across a traffic island. In a residential area and on some highways, make sure no car is approaching within 200 feet (12 car lengths) when making a U-turn; turn left into a driveway or parking lot to avoid a U-turn violation.
