Radar Detector Recomendation

That's how it reads, Jeff. A common sense translation is probably far
too advanced for Jim to comprehend.

 

Maybe your Grandmother needs to have her licence taken away form her if
(as you imply) she is unable to follow the rules of the road.

 

It was just revealed recently that in a suburb of Detroit, cops will get
an hour of overtime for each ticket written over a certain amount.

If that's not a commission, I don't know what is.

 

There is no such law on the books here.[/QUOTE]

But as pointed out, there is such a law elsewhere.

What does that say about you, Brian?

There is no such law in the US.

Jeff

 

What does it say about you, that you didn't know that there are no such
laws here?

 

Nor in Canada.

 

whoops.

IF (facts don't agree with entrenched position) THEN (call poster a
liar) ELSE (look ridiculous).

see above.

maybe i should post gas station receipts with location and time of
purchase on them. you can use google to figure out driving distances
can't you?

 

actually, it's "prima facie speed limit" - that means prevailing speed.

here's where you, and brian and jeff are failing in your efforts: you
should stick to challenging the idea - instead, all y'all do is
challenge the person. unless y'all are trolls looking to simply provoke
personal disagreement, stick to just challenging the idea - that way
people won't wait for you in a dark alley with a crowbar looking to get
personal back. try it - y'all may be surprised at the result. getting
facts straight in the first place helps too.

 

If traffic flowed into town at 95 MPH, there would be a lot of
collisions when it reached the first traffic light and the vehicle in front
stopped (according to the law) and the people behind didn't due to
inattention and the fact that they were breaking the law.

 

eh? so what /are/ the rules of the road then? stick to the speed limit
or keep up with prevailing speed? there's a logical disconnect in your
argument.

 

but there is - it was cited earlier. you guys are apparently not too
familiar with reading legal stuff. either that or you're clutching at
straws because you don't like the facts.

 

Let me clear this up for you, Jim. There is no such law in this part of
Canada. What you do in your little portion of Yankeetown is of no
consequence to the rest of the world.

 

Perhaps you should take an English comprehension course.

 

sorry brian, that wasn't the case. i was there. i was looking at my
speedo. we were all doing the same speed, keeping the same distance.
no accidents because there was no speed differential.

 

good job you live there!

 

i'm simply pointing out the logical flaw in your argument. because you
can't or won't deal with that doesn't mean it's anything to do with me.

The discussion wasn't about the laws where you were. You said flat-out
that there were no such laws, period. Now all of the sudden you've
changed what you say to "no such laws here"?

Which is it?

You lost this one. Best to remain quiet about it.

 

Actually, the "prima facie speed limit" is the POSTED limit. Do a
Google search and you'll find a ton of legal references to the concept.
The traffic engineers do their studies and establish a "reasonable"
prima facie speed which is adopted and becomes the legal limit for a
given area.

Why don't you show us that there is such a law in the US that makes it
illegal to go less than the prevailing speed even if that is over the
posted speed limit?
