Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

I will assume that you were charged with violationg 39:4-125.

39:4-125. Turning on curve, grade or place where view obstructed or State highway marked with "no U turn" sign

Turning on curve, grade or place where view obstructed or State highway marked with "no U turn" sign. The driver of a vehicle shall not turn such vehicle around so as to proceed in the opposite direction upon any curve or upon the approach to or near the crest of a grade or at any place upon a highway as defined in R.S. 39:1-1 where the view of such vehicle is obstructed within a distance of five hundred feet along the highway in either direction; and no such vehicle shall be turned around so as to proceed in the opposite direction on a highway which shall be conspicuously marked with signs stating "no U turn".

You argue that you did not break this law. Is the road curved? Crest of a grade? was this a 'highway' as defined, with the view obstructed within 500 feet? no U turn sign? the prosecutor has to prove that you broke this law.

No lawyer can guarantee results in a situation like this. But it does seem that you are sure that you did not violate any of the restrictions in this statute.
