E-brake slides are contagious, I don't know if I could've resisted the urge to follow you. Which would have most likely resulted in me rolling the Jeep.

Sometimes, you just have to roll a jeep though.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-02-15, 08:24 AM

Bobby said something about this u-turn being "eeleegull." Whatever that means.

Oh Yeah, I never said it was legal!!! It was very similar to the uturn that took out Scott's SVX...I do it all the time though, I suck.

Did you turn into oncomming traffic, run someone off the road, and hit their mirror? 'Cause the legality issue w/ the guy that hit me wasn't because he made an "illegal u-turn", it was because it was reckless driving.

MattR · 2007-02-15, 12:37 PM

Actually, it is a Legal u turn....I was always taught that if you can see at least 200 feet in either direction, and will not hinder traffic in either direction, you are good to go. I used a opening in the median also, it just doesn't have a turn lane cut out.

FYI:

NRS 484.337 Allowed and prohibited U-turns; additional penalty for violation committed in work zone.

1. A U-turn may be made on any road where the turn can be made with safety, except as prohibited by this section and by the provisions of NRS 484.309 and 484.339.

2. If an official traffic-control device indicates that a U-turn is prohibited, the driver shall obey the directions of the device.

3. The driver of a vehicle shall not make a U-turn in a business district, except at an intersection or on a divided highway where an appropriate opening or crossing place exists.

4. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, local authorities and the Department of Transportation may prohibit U-turns at any location within their respective jurisdictions.

5. A person who violates any provision of this section may be subject to the additional penalty set forth in NRS 484.3667.

(Added to NRS by 1969, 1498; A 1971, 1142; 1991, 247; 2003, 3241)

Referenced NRSs...

NRS 484.309 Driving on divided highway: Prohibited turns; additional penalty for violation committed in work zone.

1. Every vehicle driven upon a divided highway must be driven only upon the right-hand roadway and must not be driven over, across or within any dividing space, barrier or section or make any left turn, semicircular turn or U-turn, except through an opening in the barrier or dividing section or space or at a crossover or intersection established by a public authority.

2. A person who violates any provision of this section may be subject to the additional penalty set forth in NRS 484.3667.

(Added to NRS by 1969, 1500; A 1973, 449; 2003, 3241)

NRS 484.339 Turning on curve or crest of grade prohibited. A vehicle shall not be turned so as to proceed in the opposite direction upon any curve, or upon the approach to or near the crest of a grade, where such vehicle cannot be seen by the driver of any other vehicle approaching from either direction within 500 feet.

(Added to NRS by 1969, 1489)

MattR · 2007-02-15, 01:22 PM

I'm good to go.

sperry · 2007-02-15, 01:24 PM

Sweet, NRS 484.339 might make that idiot who turned in front of me not just reckless but also in violation of the u-turn law. I don't know that you can see 500 ft around that turn.

Either way Mr. Scott, you had the right-of-way (IMHO).

That too, but the letter I got from the company claims the driver said I was speeding.

Which I wasn't. Plus the 1st words out of his mouth were "I didn't see anyone" which makes me wonder how he could not see me and estimate my speed.

Sounds like you have got yourself a strong case.

Joeyy · 2007-02-15, 01:58 PM

Right-of-way is more black and white then speed. Are you going thru insurace companies now?

I haven't filed the claim yet, but I probably should. Being sick for the past few days has put a delay into getting this solved.

van · 2007-02-16, 08:42 PM

I went Sears again and sighted a blue wrx with maybe speedlines?? And then when I was leaving is saw a green l with a big ass spoiler.

bxracer69 · 2007-02-17, 08:18 AM

I saw Nick from Truckee's car at Alpine yesterday.

Cool!, work has been really slow. Thankfully skiing is paid for. I got out three days this week. Wednesday was awesome! Friday was warm schmoo.

MattR · 2007-02-17, 05:45 PM

I saw Nick in Truckee this morning...woot!

doubleurx · 2007-02-17, 09:17 PM

I thought that was you. I was running to work with Bayley to pick up some drawings at my office and he says "look at that crazy silver STI flashing its blue lights!". What were you up to in this neck o the woods?

That reminds me, we need to do another Ski day soon.

MattR · 2007-02-18, 08:47 AM

We went to Breakfast at the sqeeze in. It was such a nice day , I felt like taking the Suby for a drive.

I've seen this one here in Reno, across from Starbucks on S. Virginia.

I was around when the guy and his SO (maybe?) came out.

Me: "Nice OBS!"

Guy: "-looks at me like I'm crazy-"

Me: "-inward sigh- Wtfever.. "

GC8.Love · 2007-02-20, 02:00 PM

Saw someone (02-03 WRX, RBPish) in my rearview mirror, flying down 395S between Red Rock and Stead this morning ~ 8:40ish

Was my bumper on fire? 'Cause I could have sworn you were trying to get up there and put it out for me. I appreciate the thought though.

I was a minute (damn it) late to work, so I couldn't drop back and say hi.

wrxkidid · 2007-02-21, 11:50 PM
