• Re: U-turn with left arrow v. right turn with right arrow

    From John Levine@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 17 13:53:27 2023
    If you're wondering why you don't remember this conversation, it's
    because he's responding to a message from a decade ago, June 2013.

    According to C Douglas Edwards <cdouglas.edw@gmail.com>:
    Excuse me, but I may have missed it. Where is it implied in the law that "Even though the law
    _technically_ gives the right-turner the right of way over the U-turner, it's not obvious." Thanks! As a side note, I just read of an attorney
    getting a client off of an 'illegal u-turn citation' by arguing the citation should have been 'failure to obey traffic sign'...as the 'no
    u-turn' sign was clearly posted at the intersection. Imagine that! As it is written in virginia law, u turns are only permissible at
    intersections, which is where the offense happened.
