Recently, I went to Micky D's on U.S. 27 S., just south of Lakeview. Well, after I got my $2 food, I was promptly pulled over for making the right hand turn and across into the u-turn lane. Sounds okay to me, it says "right turn only" and I went right. So why did I get a $139 ticket? The officer said I was going into oncoming traffic. Huh? Not possible! There's a median strip; everyone does this every hour of every day! ...more
