Opinion
October 5, 1990
Appeal from the Ontario County Court, Henry, Jr., J.
Present — Boomer, J.P., Green, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The police properly stopped defendant's car based upon the officer's observation that defendant illegally crossed over a safety zone (see, 17 NYCRR 261.10 [a]) before making a turn (see, Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1120 [a] [1], [4]; § 1128 [a], [d]). That violation established an articulable basis for the stop and gave the officer reasonable grounds to suspect that defendant was driving while intoxicated (see, People v. Wohlers, 138 A.D.2d 957).
