Hey Mamma,
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. A person can't keep up with all the laws it is impossible for sure to do. Sorry that you got that ticket for the U-Turn.
Being that you are from Texas and mentioned speed limit signs I'll let you in on a secret.... those speed limit signs in Texas don't apply to most people yet most people who get a speeding ticket never even bother to look up who speed limit signs are for.
In Texas speed limit signs are for COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES only. The TX Transportation code under section 201.904 states that without question. I got a bunch of lawyers and one judge really pissed off at one day back in August of 2021 when I mentioned 201.904 to people waiting to go before the court on speeding tickets.
The judge ended up dismising 62 of the 63 cases before the court that afternoon. The only one the judge didn't dismiss was the person who failed to show up for court.
Read the laws ... it might not apply to you. Also read what officers have the jurisdiction to write tickets... in Texas there are less than 800 officers who can legitmately write a traffic ticket. That doesn't stop any officers from doing it though but in court it can make the difference.
Thanks again and take care,
Sult
