Hmmm. You are in front of a heavy american SUV (known for substandard brakes) and you jam your binders? Then you argue with an armed testerone bag about your righteousness?

If you really think you are "in the right", then hire a traffic attorney. These are the only people who can say the right words to make this go away.

I do find it interesting that right below this thread I find a link to an online traffic school... might be a clue...

You myfriend are an asshole... For one, you dont know the situation of the person behind you.

i.e.

THey could be rushing a woman in labor to a hospital or responding to some kind of emergency... which by all means would be a reason to speed in my book.

or even worse...

at the time they could be emotionally unstable, and could have said to hell with your little "Break Check" and ran your ass over... You should be happy you got a ticket and not your rear bumper up your ass... And be thankful you didnt hurt anyone else either. I hope you learn from this instead of passing false judgement on police officers and believing your own actions are correct when they were 100% wrong...

The big problem is the police go unchecked. Most of the time they are the worst traffic offenders of the all.

I have seen police cars going 70 miles per hour on my street. It is a highway, but it is very narrow and there are houses, business's and people walking around. Sometimes they go so fast, if you blink, you will not see them, all you hear is exhaust and the sound of their tires. Sometimes they go as fast as 80 mph in Boyes hot Springs. This is not a open highway, but a small community. There is a slight curve in front of a liquor store and a apartment building. I have seen Sheriff Deputies aproach this curve at 70 mph, bleed off about 10 mph just before the curve and in my opinion, were running on the edge of control. There is a coffee shop, hotel, restaraunts, post office houses and pedestrians as well as other cars on the road where the police do this on a regular basis.

It is my opinion that this is very dangerous to the people in the community. The police are supposed to serve and protect

You were not even there....you know nothing about the situation period. Personal attacks, name calling are not allowed on S2KI. I am not saying he was right or wrong, I am saying you have no right to judge this person. His situation will take it's own course without you belittling him.

Peace

to the original poster:

Rid yourself of the gene pool, as I can only assume another one of your moronic actions will soon do.

This post is a good advertisement against smoking crack when pregnant
