Is it illegal to do what they call "flexing" when making a turn? In other words when the driver in front of you is making a turn they turn the opposite way that they are turning before actually making their turn. Does anyone know if this is legal or illegal?

If it's illegal, then the HGV drivers are stuffed, aren't they.
So no, I doubt it's illegal in itself.

No i dont think its illegal as long as you dont go into the other lane. A lot of truck drivers have to do this because they make wide turns, and their truck will hit the curb if they dont. So no its not illegal.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell. It could be considered reckless driving, especially if it causes other people problems. But flexing specifically, I don't think is illegal.
I drive a semi with a 53' trailer - I almost HAVE to flex most of the time in order to get the trailer around the median.

The way I see it, you turned left on to another street where you then preceded to turn around, where the was no sign that said you can not turn around. I would suggest taking pictures of not only the area where you received the ticket. The intersection where the sign was, but also where you turned around. By using these aids it may help you case. Make sure you well prepared. Good luck

I don't think it is illegal but it sure can be dangerous and there is no reason for vehicles other than large trucks to do it.
