Oh i've done my share of stupid things...and even talked my way out of quite a few...as in passing in a construction zone (1 lane too) at 'a high rate of speed' an unmarked cop when i was on a touring bike. I got yelled at, for quite a while. I had dealer plates on this salvaged bike (my bike, not dealers..illegal mix there) and no insurance...fines would have exceeded $800 (back in 92!).
Here in PA radar is for highways only...back in December the cop followed me 2 miles...radar detector woulda been useless. Yesterday cop used VASCAR+, lines on the road deal. Cops paint these lines everywhere to 'scare' you into slowing down.
I drove 12 years with NO tickets..and got 3 in 3 weeks. THen no tickets till now. IF i get the points, i gotta go to school (6 points first time) and they WILL notify my insurance company and UP go the rates.
I am no more an insurance risk this year than last! Not fair - and yeah, i know life ain't fair. i try to be a productive good citizen and this is what i get...i should be like the asddicts my wife works with - live off the state, have 10 DUI's and STILL drive (license revoked until 2021!).
We need a new system...Chris
Only the dead fish go with the flow.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
