Chances are a cop will still give you a ticket and say take it up with the judge.

Well, the cop across the street says they can not issue tickets,nor is it probable cause so they can't use it to just check you out because it will get dismissed, so Garland PD has been insructed not to waste time on it.

Ha Richardson PD did just that to me one time. They just needed an excuse to pull me over as I was driving a nice car in a kinda shitty area at 4 am. They let me go as soon as they saw my uniform though.

F Richardson police. They gave me a u-turn ticket once. The cop was literally just sitting in a parking lot watching for someone to do it.

I stopped paying attention to those signs after one time I went like 5 blocks at 75 and Forest of no u-turns and finally just said I'm gonna do one anyway.

They gave me a speeding ticket instead of evading arrest after being road blocked. Richardson pd is good in my book.

I've heard from a SWAT guy that RPD even pulls them over.

Good experience for you though.

Richardson has a stupid law that is weird but true. It is illegal to do a u turn on any public road in the city of Richardson.

interesting, will test this theory. I'm surprised though, I haven't had a front plate since I got here, maybe I've been lucky

Welcome to the site dude !

Nice to have a new Z around....if you can you should come out to a meet whenever we get something going.

If your interested in driving the Z at an AutoX event or Drifting event, this is the place to be. We post stuff on the Meet ups/Events section all the time so keep looking at those as well as the Lounge.

I hope to see you at a meet soon. And yes, post up some pics of the Z !

So I was doomed from the start then haha. I needed to go left to get to 75, but it was right turn only so I planned on making a right then a u-turn.
