1 in 4 drivers are impaired on the road
« on: January 13, 2012, 03:28:07 PM »
wow. 



it's hard to believe that 1 in 4 drivers are either drunk or on some other drug that should prohibit them from driving. wtf?

i made a commitment to myself that i wouldn't drive drunk about 7 years ago and i haven't since.

The "Drivers from (fill in blank) can't drive in the snow" is one of my fav talking points in the midwest. 

Everyplace has bad drivers.  No one is good at driving in snow.

What was the specific violation? Is stopping somewhat in the crosswalk a crime? I recently got pulled over for not blinkering and the warning ticket said "unsafe driving" which sounds pretty rough ridin' arbitrary. You should probably go to court just to see what happens. I'm too lazy to go to court an would probably just pay it.

"stop past cross walk on red light, statute/article/resolution 4-r" signed bad person cop
although I stopped past it when it was yellow, thought the non turning light would go to green

Go to court if you don't have anything better to do. It's not worth taking off work or anything, though.

Go.  You can probably get the cop twisted and have him say something like it's illegal to not go through a red light.  I've done it before.  They're easy when it's something human judgment based rather than a speeding ticket w/radar or KSUBrian blowing a .22.

Oh, it's not me I worry about. It's the other people on the road.
