What is the current fine for violating the no-left-turn rule for cars?
My brother turned left in his car at a location with a "no left turn" sign. If caught by law enforcement, what would the fine be according to current regulations? This is a question from Ms. Hoang Thi M. (Hung Nguyen commune, Nghe An province).
