As long as there was nothing coming and you didn't cut anybody off, I fail
to see the problem. Technically, you've executed an improper left turn by
not staying in the lane closest to you as "jaybird" stated in his reply. And
he's also right about improper lane changes if you failed to utilize your
turn signals while changing from lane to lane. But honestly, if all 3 lanes
that you crossed were clear and the flow of traffic was uninterrupted by
your actions, then I wouldn't even bother pulling you over for it.

news:2506-3EFB9F26-424@storefull-2151.public.lawson.webtv.net... Do you think I'm being robbed by a corrupt system? I was stopped in the middle of the road waiting for a chance to get into the flow of traffic,my car was straight so I had to look back to see if it was clear for me to go.When I pulled out into traffic I went to the 3rd lane to the right which is the last lane. The cop stopped me and said it was a left turn too wide,since my car was straight,facing the way I was going it wasn't a left turn,I was going to the right as soon as the way was clear. It would have only been a left turn if I hadn't stopped after coming out of the side street.The area has three lanes of traffic in each direction,this area is not an intersection. I already know that cops lie and it's his word against mine so I won't even try to explain what I've just wrote in court because the judge will accept his word over mine,they all work together you know to rob the public. What I need to know is if you've ever heard or read anything that says it's wrong to make a left turn and go immediately to the right lane which is the 3rd lane? Remember the area is not an intersection with lights,there are three lanes for each direction with a lot of side streets.I was stopped in the middle of the road in the turning lane facing the direction I was going so I had to look back to see when the way was clear. In my opinion three lanes is not wide.Also going immediately to the lane you need to be in before traffic catches up is more safer than trying to get over later because some people don't pay attention or care about your turn signals. I didn't do what I've been accused of but If I had done it I don't see anything wrong with it and even though I didn't do it it's what I have to defend myself against because it's what the police officer wrote. Excuse me for repeating myself in this message but I want to make sure you understand the situation and my question.One cop has already responded on a previous message and accused me of admitting to something I didn't say,I think he just didn't have anything better to do so he wanted to upset someone but it didn't work,I'm fully aware of what bored people like that do and won't be pulled in,they need to get a life.
