Illegal U-Turn charges in New York
An illegal U-turn is charged for turning where prohibited by signage, at certain intersections, or where visibility is limited. Many drivers are cited without realizing a U-turn was restricted there. In New York, a conviction adds demerit points toward the New York DMV suspension threshold of 10 points in 24 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
