Well if it is...it's a tax you can choose to avoid so that's okay with me...

I mean I've seen it often enough in my small experience to know it happens a fair amount though. The only areas around here that are posted that low are residential or areas where higher speeds are dangerous..... ( falling rocks/construction/dangerous roads. )
So you don't drive, and can't see from a car that you are riding in...oh yeah, that makes your opinion worth something...

Although not 100% acurate, you are not far from the truth...

I said my puriferal vision isn't what it needs to be to drive. When riding in a car most cars are coming head on not from the side. so yes I can see what is going on. I refuse to take the risk with my poor side vision that some little kid isn't going to run out and I won't see him. Yes that is a risk anyway but combine that with the fact I've never been a very good driver....
I can also ( especially for residential sections ) speak as a pedestrian. Just because I don't drive does not invalidate my opinion. If that's the case Only movies stars and the crew involved in making a movie can tell if it's good..... Yeah great reasoning. Maybe my opinion on tickets being taxes lacks something but it's still a valid opionion. Cause even if I drove I could easily avoid them by NOT SPEEDING.
Ya_know you got me again. you doing this just to argue right? Wether you are or you're not I'm not going to debate you as you already agreed with me on my main point anyway.
Don't hate me because I'm a US citizen!

I was just poking fun at Spork, hence the smilies - like this one.
Now if you want to make this personal, PM me.
Actually Adapt I was poking back at you.
The person (people) I called a$$holes where the ones that started calling people names because they don't like what the cop did. Not everyone has to like cops and if you want to talk $hit about them you are allowed too.
Some people on this board are just way to serious. I think Spork was just mad. He did say anything out of line. It was out of anger so big deal.
To the people that are getting all "upset and serious" about this...you need to get laid and relax a bit.

So when he rants we need to be supportive and understanding and under no circumstances are allowed to rant back? Yeah, that isn't going to work too well.

He brought it here, expressing his opinion. WE expressed ours back. we have just as much right to do that and be mad about what he said as he does to be mad at the cop. Cuts both ways. Oh and having sex isn't changing my opionions either...

Dude, I complained about it for 2 seconds so that I could get it out of my system. Bitch back all you want... I DON'T CARE. I didn't post this thread asking you if what the cop did was correct or not.
OF COURSE WHAT THE COP DID WAS WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO!
I was just upset about it and it was a sh!tty way to start my day. Of course I'm not a law abiding citizen when it comes to vehicles. I always speed, take turns too fast, and normally drive how "I" want. Does that mean I run the risk of being caught? Sure does! Am I looking to be immune from these restrictions... of course not, but it sure would be damn cool. Yes I drive fast in residential areas (as I do everywhere else), but if I see kids or people near the street, then of course I'm going to slow down. I'm not a f*cking careless idiot. I'm not pi$$ed at the cop for doing his job, I'm pi$$ed because I got caught. Yes there have been times where I could've been caught for MUCH worse... thankfully it's only something as simple as this. Plus I'm going to take this to court and fight it to an "Under 10MPH" ticket because I know I wasn't going over 10MPH like the cop stated (he said I was going 11MPH which bumps me into the higher ticket charge).
So quit barking up my damn tree and acting like you are "holier than thou" or some sh!t like that.

Maybe you two should hire an exterminator to remove those bugs!
My wish for you two is EVERY single time you speed I hope you get a ticket!
or
Better yet every time you break any "law" I hope you get caught!

Going thirty, even thirty-five in the same 25 MPH zone where there are no kids anywhere within proper visibility is not unsafe. Driving 40 when you see kids all over the road is...again, responsible driving is more important than lowering the limit to stupid low speeds.
Kids often dart out from areas blocked from vision and high speed can and does lead to traffic fatalities and other accidents.
As a child I ran out into an alley where cars almost never traveled and the new hick neighbors were tearing *** down the road faster than they should have and knocked my *** down the street and unconscious. I woke up and went home with everyone wondering how I was alive. The a$$h)l3 driving had the b@!!$ to say something to me and the other kids started yelling at him for speeding and the like.
As a child my friend john ran out into the street and a speeding car clipped him and tore his lip partially off and he had to go to the hospital.
As a child one of the kids in my school was hit at the bus stop by a speeding driver and his brain damage eventually lead to needed surgery and him dying on the operating table. I forget his name and face buy I remember the people crying about him dying.

I agree, but people who don’t wear them are still retarded in my book.

That's mean...It's like saying, "I hope that every time you have sex you contract a STD, and get bumps and iches all over". Not very nice at all...
I used to think you were a cool hot chick, now I think you're just a hot chick...you can make it up to me later if you want...

Well I have news for you...
If you run into traffic it won't make much of a difference if the driver is going 30 or 37. Spork didn't say he was ripping 70 in a 30.

Well I only say that because they are being over the top mean about something they probably do themselves.
And if I had unprotected sex and got an STD yes it would be my own fault but I would still be PISSED at the pereson who gave it to me...just like spork is pissed at the cop that gave it to him. (the ticket that is)
