Wait a minute, you made a RIGHT turn and the cop gave you a ticket for
an improper left turn ?  Try to explain this again and tell us what
kind of NO TURN sign it was ( right or left )  If you really made a left
turn from the 'x' position you have no chance in court and deservedly so !
If you made a right turn then take a drawing like yours ( much bigger though )
to court and explain it to the judge, be calm, polite and don't worry
about what the officer says - question him if his facts don't match yours.
First though try to explain the situation to us again, it's good practice.
With all tickets it's worth practicing your speech to the judge and your
questions for the officer with someone else first, out loud and seriously,
especially if you are not used to talking in front of people.
