Improper turning in street

[desimalad]

I moved from Michigan to New Jersey 3 weeks ago

I made a U-turn where I was not supposed to make and got a ticket for Improper turning in street.

I have been in NJ for 3 weeks when i got this ticket. I am not familiar with NJ roads and was lost and wasn't able to find my way back home so i had to take a U-turn. And I got ticket.

I have court hearing on 08/01.

How should I defend this?

Thanks.

Defend what? By your own admission, you are guilty.

Ask for the ticket to be drop to a non moving violation, so you won't get any points. But as mention, you admit you are guilty. pay it and move on.

I use the term "ignorance" only to suggest "lack of knowledge or familiarity"...

With that being said, ignorance of the law is not an viable legal argument to violating it.

It is your duty as a "responsible driver" to familiarize yourself with the area and with it local laws before venturing out in it!

**A: correct and being lost is not a plausible defense to break the traffic law.
