RECOMMENDEDHow to correctly make a u-turn in Florida

We know you have seen it. Drivers trying to get over or make a turn without any indication. It may seem minor but this can cause a lot of accidents. Plus, it is required by Florida state law.

THE RULES:

You have to signal at least 100 feet prior to your turn. That is roughly six car lengths.

Officers can hand drivers a non-moving violation ticket which can cost you about $116.
