Officer Dan Knock at the wheel of the oncoming Chevrolet, shows how to earn a ticket by "darting." Just as the signal starts to change, he jumps out and turns left in front of cars in the foregound. He is violating the law, even though he crossed through the turn before the other cars could get near him. He is also cutting across the double lines, which is illegal. He should have pulled out to the intersection in his own lane, and waited for the cars facing him to pass. Photo dated: July 25, 1955.
