I wrote the story about James Turner's lawsuit against Acme rental. Seems the story hit "the big time," (MSNBC, talk shows, blah blah blah) meaning the facts have been ignored.
I just need to get this out somehow. CNN picked up on the story and has since misinformed the public about this case. The "reporter" wrote that on the contract, "in big bold letters" that speeding is defined as 79 mph. CNN also said that Turner initialed it. This is not true. The contract only read that "vehicles driving in excess of posted speed will be charged $150 fee per occurance. All our vehicles are GPS equipped." Speed limits vary from state to state!
Asside from the contractual issue, Acme is in a poor area of town. The lawyer said his client is sick of losing cars. So they write a speeding warning at the top of the contract and assume people will understand what GPS is. It's not explained. Would this ever happen in a tony section of town with well-to-do clients? There's alot more issues at stake here besides speeding.
And don't believe everything you read. Thanks.
