Yeah its best to lock this thread on the side of caution, before I get subpoenaed to testify for something

I don't want to add insult to injury, nor degrade individuals who put their bodies on the line for what they believe in, but I don't think it is right to defer further than that.

Isn't the main reason for traffic penalties to protect innocent people from the elevated risks inflicted by antisocial behaviours of drivers? If your driving really has been so impaired by your current health as you have described, why aren't trying to compensate with driving best-practices? Does everyone need reminding that there is a better way that drivers can avoid traffic tickets? As for police nepotism, surely that's something else we can all rally against?

I guess my problem is why are you getting pulled over all of the time for traffic violations? I've only gotten one ticket in 15 years and that one was because it was a speed trap, there was going to be construction the next day and the speed limit was reduced but the construction signs had not been put up yet, it was at night and I never saw that the speed sign was changed (the officer swore it was, I didn't see it). I got the ticket dropped.

Are you really that bad of a driver? If so, why?

I actually don't get pulled over that much. Years ago when I was working and commuting I got stopped so much the PA State Police used to invite me to the christmas party.

I got stopped a lot when the Seatbelt law went into effect in DE. I do have a habit of speeding, but no more than most people.

It is one of those things. Does everyone do 55 on the highway? No. If you do 55 you are in the slow lane getting lapped. And when police decide to setup a speed trap they really is arbitrary on whether you are going to be caught.

People have radar dectors so they can avoid getting tickets.

I wish police could enforce a lot more of the laws. Handicap parking is my pet peeve. The only time police enforce that is when they need to fill a ticket quota. Otherwise you can park at will in handicap spots and you rarely will ever see anyone get the ticket for it.


And I don't mind that people have an issue with it. I am not taking it as an attack on me.
