Improper Turns Charges

Generally speaking, improper turn charges under The Highway Traffic Act are one of the least serious offences as a conviction would result in the loss of 2 demerit points. This does not mean it should be taken lightly as any conviction on ones record will have an influence on the insurance rates one pays. If an accident is a result of this improper turn, it is more serious than the latter and must be dealt with accordingly. For example; improper turn charges arise when an individual makes a turn, left or right, and makes the turn wide crossing into the other lane. This is not safe and at times can result in an accident due to the other driver not being aware of an another car entering their lane upon a turn.

Not all improper turns are a result of negligence. There may be other reasons as to why a driver encountered an improper turn.
