leaves sunday, and upon checking in ( 11 hrs later), has been pulled over doing 92 in a 70...is allowed to leave with a verbal ( drive safe young pig).
that gets me bad !!!!! totally pi$$es me off.
Karma did check in, as he got a flat tire in the middle of arkansas ( nothing for 25 miles)...apparently newer malibus didnt receive spares as standard equipment ($350 option).
but all in all, he got off, sped home and still managed a 12 hr trip in 11 ish !

It's because safety is relative. Traffic tickets are a revenue game, always have been. The base fine for my ticket was $70 With all the assessments and service fees it bloated up to $367 dollars. My situation was nothing more than me being plucked from the pack. I tried to just pay on-line. But the cop mucked it up so I was going to have to appear before a judge to request his mistakes be fixed. And then ask for traffic school.
Want to be mad or annoyed? You cannot call a Los Angeles court with a problem. You get a recording that states they are overloaded an you have to come in person. They have no problems wasting your time. I sent a lawyer to go in my place. That simple. And her decision was to fight. Fine with me!
