I don’t get why more people don’t just accept they made a mistake and just do what a vehicle is supposed to do and then adapt later.

Outside of getting on the pike further out west where exits are spaced super far apart, most errant turns, missed exits, etc rent dramatically changing anything.

Unwilling to take 2 minutes to take the turn and then turn around. Is willing to spend multiple hours fighting a ticket they deserved.

Because if we don't fight there's no incentive for the government to fix anything.

There are plenty of left turns where the only indication is a mostly faded arrow on the pavement that you may only seen when you're right on top of it.

Not saying OP is right, but this state definitely makes it hard to figure out what lane you need to be in

I've been cut off by drivers when the green light got a left arrow, the left indication arrow on the road is new, and there's a sign saying left lane turns left, and I still get cut off or I have to brake quick for these dopes. I've also been cut off when someone in the middle lane turned left for the turn not in the left lane like me

I honestly thought that was okay to do till the citation since drivers here do it all the time and usually I’ll make space for them because I believed they were just confused. like I had questioned if a sneaky left turn is legal in MA because that happens way more often than in other states I’ve lived

Lol, I can't speak for the judge, but I accept your remorse. Mistakes happen.

No quarter shall be given for anyone who's ever backed up on a highway to take an exit they missed though.

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Can you show up where it is on google maps, and/or give us the street you were on, which street you were approaching, and from what direction?
