Is This 141(6) ?
Hello,
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My mother waited almost 40 minutes and was the last one to leave. She provided her information to the fire department who arrived.
A cop came 2 days later and, without asking for her side of the story, gave her a ticket stating Improper Left Turn 141(6).
Questions.
(1) As there was no intersection within the vicinity, was 141(6) the proper charge?
(2) Can a police officer lay a charge like this without having even spoken to my mom and without even attending the accident scene to ascertain where the accident happened?
I truly thank all those who read this and take a moment to reply!
