ticket for not showing turn signal? You kidding right? I have driven from los angeles to chicago to san francisco and i never seen anyone being pulled over for not showing turn signal. In los angeles i turn wihtout showing signal with a cop behind me and no ticket.

So how much is the ticket if u don't show your turn signal
