Thank you for admitting your ignorance, let me help you
Here This is in general for state highways, and This is for residential zones. This is one place where the state sets the speed not the locality. I don't know where you got your ticket and I really don't care. You said the state does not and you are wrong.
Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I was talking to a traffic expert, yes I'm sure your completely qualified to determine what a safe speed is for a road and everyone that says you should slow down is flat out wrong. I'm sure you've had some sort of training to drive fast, of the military or emergency vehicle type, not some weekend road warrior course.
The sign makes the feeling of being under constant suspect, You should be suspect because you were doing something wrong remember you were speeding.
The road artificially drops to 25mph as you enter this town where it is completely flat In many places the speed limit is set by the state DOT. There are numerous reasons why the speed drops, some of them are traffic, the amount of people entering on to that road from a stop etc and why not lets throw in the children and pedestrians.
The short of it is you were speeding and you got what you deserve, if you can't abide by the rules you deserve what you get. Unfortunately traffic accidents are quite capable of harming/killing others.
Speeding does not kill, bad driving in inadequate cars does. What does an inadequate car have to do with it, does bad driving in an adequate car cancel each other out? Bad driving, (speeding is an example) in any car in dangerous.
You do know that driving is a privledge not a right don't you?
And how is that sign a violation of privacy? You think your disregard for traffic laws is somehow private, that know one should be able to see that information.
Cited with way more than I was actually doing So how much over were you going?
I'm glad to see that your day started off with such a high note.
Why wouldn't they have taken the ambulance, it could have gotten them their quicker and safer. Besides they are all first responders so even if there was a delay they could have handled it. I'd much rather have the professionals than some panicy father to be half driving and half worring about the child. I don't think the story said anything about the officer ticketing them before they drove off. It wasn't until they decided that they didn't want to wait. Hey thats fine but now you have to pay for your actions. Otherwise every moron would be making some cock and bull stroy to get out of teh ticket, they should be happy they have a healthy girl.
Living in Fairfax county I don't have a problem with this at all.
Yeah I'm sure you all hate it because this is/. the land of 1984 and tinfoil hats but thats my $0.02
If the email says to login then update your information with out providing a link it's probably okay, if they provide you a link and it looks technicle then stay away.
Okay get rid of the punch cards fine, some people in Fl couldn't handle it. But what about the rest of us in FL who didn't have a problem with the scantron type ballots. Why did they feel the need to reinvent the wheel?
For Gods sake they can teach kids in first grade in FL to mark the right bubble and not to go out of the bubble. I still remeber the when we had to spend a while the day before the CTBS test making sure that we all could make our mark where we wanted it, and lets be honest unless you have a handicap it's not hard to put your mark where you want it to be.
Look at all the money it costs for this touch screen system, look at all the headache it caused and then think about all the other places that use scantron type systems and don't have these problems then if you live in Fl ask the people in power why?
First why the hell is this on/. this site is quickly falling in to posting stories that will cause a flaim war. it's becoming the Jerry Springer show of the internet
Now to my $0.02
people should know that you shouldn't be watch a movie while driving we should but some of us don't. I'd like to think that a reasonable person wouldn't try to justiy watching a movie while driving. Since some people have a problem with this then they need to make laws that spcificcly spell it out, and now that it's speciflly spelled out I see no problme with making the punishment higher. I think more states should be like NYC and expand their practice of siezing a persons car who is DUI to situations like this.
Driving is a privelige not a right, I think too many people have forgotten that.
Never underestimate a good printf() or System.out.println() I was taught in school to use them in place of the nice debugging tools that come with the IDE's and here I am in the realworld with some of the best tool and we all still use statments more than anything else.
resultant lower volume of sales Sales going down would depend on how much the tax is which is not mentioned in the article. How much do you think sales would drop if the tax was 1% or the total price? I bet it wouldn't have a measurable effect on sales.
Taxes or higher prices for that matter don't automatically makes sales drop. I'm using just as much gas now as I was a year ago, and allot of people who smoke don't cut back when the raise the tax either.
What I did say was more like sorry that's the way it is if you don't like it start a start a campaign to change it.
And besides saying deal with it isn't the same as saying roll over and play dead, if you don't like a law and you work to change it you are dealing with it, your dealing with a problem, just like a person can be dealing with alcoholism by going to AA
I remember when I said "it's not fair" to my mother once when I was I kid.
Sing along 'cause I'm sure most of you know how this song ends. "Life's not fair" was here response.
Until the majority of people who use these items for less than honest uses we all suffer.
Yes it sucks I know, but that's the way it is. If you want to change it start some sort of grass roots campaign. The temperance (grassroots) movement was much more successful than prohibition (government)
This story has the typical/. slant. I wonder what the numbers are for people who use a mod chip to develop homebrew games vs. those who use it to pirate games. I'd be willing to bet that the percentage has to be very very small. I already see the replies about "just because it can be used to do something illegal doesn't mean that it should be illegal to own"
I think we need to face the facts many people use mod chips to pirate software, as the law stands right now pirating software is wrong and IMHO rightly so, many of the people who alter their direct TV box do it to obtain channels without paying for them which is also illegal. people who use fully automatic weapons don't use it to hunt wildlife, the list goes on. I think benefits need to outweigh the potential for abuse, sure you could use a mod chip to make your won games and sure you could use an ak47 to hunt deer but I think we need to face up to the facts that most people who use these items aren't using them for legal purpose and until we all mature to the point where we aren't using them for legal purposes they will and should remain illegal.

We saw how this turns out when the Vogons come through your little neck of the woods to build a space bypass.
I'll concede that one but I still want his proof for his claim about what will and wont get you a ticket,
Speed limit is not set by the state

Next time try, you know just try, not speeding.
can we see your evidnce for this statement.
Having moved to Va from Fl I can tell you 10 will get you a ticket. Why? because thets the second rung. 1-9 over 10-19 over etc.

Other ways to avoid speed traps include:
Not Speeding
Problem is that I'm on the side of the this law and your not, if you don't like it then get out on November and vote.
