I got stopped by the town cop for pulling U-turn across double yellow lines.. I was sounthbound when the "out of gas" indicagtor lit up. Nearest gas was about 1/2 mile north on main street. I didn't get a ticket but I found out in Sunday's paper that that turn was legal.

Washington state, and Idaho as well list such turns legal "as long as they can be made safely and not interfere with other traffic.

Could have had an interesting discussion with the cop and probably would hasve lost until I appeared in traffic court Of course it is possible that the town has an ordinance against it.
