Improper Turn charges in Missouri
An improper turn covers turning from the wrong lane, without signaling, or against posted restrictions. It is a catch-all maneuver violation that is often subjective. In Missouri, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Missouri DOR suspension threshold of 8 points in 18 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
