| I got a $25 ticket today for making a left turn that was not legal during rush hour. Will points be assessed for this moving violation if I pay the ticket? |

No. And I think if you're worried about this, you've never had points before so should have some type of forgiveness in place. |

| I got one of these in NY years ago and there were no points for it. The reasoning IIRC was that it was a traffic flow issue and not a safety issue like speeding or running a stop sign. |

| Thank you both! And yes - this was the first time I've ever gotten pulled over (and I am 50). |

| It depends. Many people in DC are so important that they are allowed to make a left during rush hour. Like the president, vice president, and assistant to the deputy undersecretary's administrative assistant or whatever your actual job is. |

| I'm amazed you got caught. No one gets pulled over in DC. |

| Was this off Nebraska Ave at that cut-through by Van Ness? It looked like the police had a sting set up the other day. |
