I may be wrong, but I think it may affect insurance. Your right turn is a moving violation just like speeding, running a red, or the like. You may be able to take defensive driving to get it taken care of though.

Don't rejoice too much man.
Here, in the Socialist Republic of California*, there exist many of the same kinds of laws as he mentioned and some that are unimaginable to have in a free state/country...

*It's not called the "Left Coast" for no reason you know.

Where do you live? In any metro area you can have no left turn, M-F, 15 mph when flashing, no right turn 8 am to 6 pm, etc. Depends on traffic needs. It's not a canadian thing.

BTW 120 canadian is about 79.50 US which is a nice price. I just paid $94 for "drive safe speed" last Monday. But I'm the one laughing to the bank! I decided to buy a blue-chip mutual fund the next day to make up for the money and I'm up $160 so far. So even though one is not really related to the other, my mind is at total ease. The worst thing you can do is take a ticket personally. Ask yourself, do you envy the cop's job? Getting paid 50,000 per year when your life is on the line is no bargain. 22 year-olds fresh out of the university earn more than that these days.

City driving is strange... hehe. Here in hicksville (aka maine) we dont have crazy things like that =)

Thanks JD, The pic isn't even photoshopped I guess sx7r just one hell of a photographer. As for weird laws, here in Dallas there are a few places that I can think of that have certain times when you cannot make right turns. Does anyone agree/disagree with me that this will raise your insurance? I have no insurance background to back myself up, but from what I know any moving violation will increase insurance rates.

Just to prove you wrong there in Maine man, I live in West Texas (Midland, Texas to be exact) and let me tell you, I live in Hicksville U.S.A. We also have that right turn law at one of our stoplights here around Lee High School.

Assuming Canada has a similar system for handling traffic violations, fight the ticket. You may be able to pay a fine with no points. Any violation that puts points on your record will affect your insurance.

no doubt that in the US this would raise your insurance if found guilty and give points. But, the thign I don't know is if you gte points on a US license from a canadian ticket...I mean, how would they report it to your insurance company/DMV anyways?

xHypex, nice finish on your car! what kind of wax do you use?

I just read in the latest SCC that running a red light adds 2 points to your record. I assume this is true for stop signs, and other similiar moving violations.
Demian: Funny you ask about wax.... This pic was taken at the last Dallas meet, and the weather was starting to get cold. I hadn't waxed my car for about 3-4 months, and that day since it was cold I decided to go through a (god forbid) drive through car wash. My only explanation is that sx7r is one hell of a photographer and should be employed by some magazine.
