Re: Improper Lane Use
You can't get into the left turn lane until the yellow line turns white. It's frustrating because the left travel lane sometimes is backed up a long way from the intersection and its tempting to go up to the intersecton in the turn lane.
Ask for a formal hearing and you may get a break if you have a clean record.
