turning or switching lanes. If you fail to do this you will be facing two points on your license. If an accident happened and
mandatory court appearance is checked on your ticket In addition, to the two points you could also receive up to 15
days in jail. (note that unless your offense involves an accident with serious injury it is very rare, but possible for a judge
to impose jail).
