mainly for cars, but its about damn time for some of them

 

sounds like bs to me. What state tells you that you can drive 3mph over the speed limit. The speed limit is the fastest you can go.

 

sounds like a chain letter some hopeless optimistic house wife wrote out on a napkin after a few martinis and a lonely night at home

 

ha ya thats what i figured, but we can only hope... ha i hate the damn ppl that ride the shoulder to cut infront of you! haha

 

i got the exact same email for CA laws. since when did Ca and Tx ever agree on the same things

 

In the city where I live they put up the red light cameras three weeks ago. The first month is just a test. They will not be handing out tickets till next week. But in just three weeks of testing they have photographed 1,652 people running red lights! And thats from four cameras. They said if they were handing out tickets it would of totaled $9,000 a day!!

 

Not entirely true.

The current law allows UP TO 10 mph over the speed limit if you are passing a slower moving vehicle. Like someone doing 20 in a 35...etc.

Hence why I got a ticket a few months back for being 11 over...(I was actually 7 over...)

I like the cell phone thing...though hands free doesn't help as much as people think overall. Helps some.

Driving on the shoulder...

On my drive to work...two lane road...speed limit 60 mph...no center turn lane...

So I guess when somone wants to slow to zero and take a left...blinker on...waiting for oncoming cars to pass...everyone is supposed to sit there and wait.

Bull****...I'll run it...pay the fine and move to Montana....hate this state anyway...always have.

 

those are all dumb. hope they dont go all frantic on them.

when did a DUI not constitute jail time?

 

Icall bs. motorcycles are allowed in the hov lane in Texas.

What if you hold the cell phone between your shoulder and your ear? Its hands free.
