So, my usual sneaky cut through the residential area to cut out the busy traffic. I turn right and as i do i see a cop car out of the corner of my eye sat there, i take a quick look into my review mirror and automatically think **** next thing the lights and sirens come on so i throw my cell phone behind me and pull onto a side street.
Approaches the car is a female cop requesting my license registration and insurance for turning on a no turn right between 3pm and 6pm.
She disappears and comes back and tells me she will ignore the fact that i roll the stop sign which is a $110 and some driving points, instead she gave me a $65 bylaw ticket which basically is a just a fine for being an idiot.
Luckily i got off lightly as she could have gave me a ticket for rolling the red, not wearing my glasses whilst driving (they aren't really that important) and if she would of seen my cell phone i would of got a $300 ticket.
Lesson learned, though i did have to Google street view the road as i honestly didn't know you couldn't turn right between certain times. Which kind of makes no sense as right is going with the flow of traffic but i guess because it cuts out a lot of traffic.
Anybody here yet had a ticket or two this is actually my first ticket and i have been driving for around 5 years now. Though it isn't a "real" ticket but first ever kind of ticket i have received.
