Re: Failed to yield to traffic

In this case, since the other passenger is likely to be the witness, your father may raise doubt as to the witnesses' impartiality.

Re: Driving through Detroit could get expensive

MSP have a tolerance of about 7 to just over 10 MPH, it seems, except in construction zones (about 3 MPH when workers are present). They also stop drivers who are going too slow. Sheriff's Deputies also patrol I-94 and they generally give up to 10 MPH over the limit. The Taylor Police, who always park a cruiser on I-94 just east of Telegraph Road ...

Re: Zero Tolerance for 1st 5 years of driving...


Makes you wonder. It's about the only semi-logical (if very poor) reason that he didn't take his son's car that I can think of, anyway.


Last time I checked, adding a "Speeding 50+" to the online insurance rate calculator doubled the premium from its base. Adding 2 of them tripled it. There is, quite apparently, a good reason for it. Why could ...

Re: Banning policies

Spambots will be banned immediately upon discovery, as well as any users who do not have a single post for more than 30 days, as this is typical of spambots.
I hope that it's 30 days from registration and not just any 30-day period.
The key is who do not have a single post
This is actually no longer a problem, but when we first started the site ...

Re: Zero Tolerance for 1st 5 years of driving...

This is too complicated. No need to re-invent the wheel.

Just make it simple...We already have the following conditions:
G1 = zero alcohol
G2 - zero alcohol
Just add that a "G" driver must be a minimum of 19yrs of age.

G1/G2 already have lower demerit point levels, which multiple tickets will take care of a suspension for demerit points.

Wait ...

Re: Failure to submit permit? What's required in car re: permit?

Oh, also wanted to ask; do you guys think there is any point to meeting with the DA before trial? Most information sources say no, some say it is worth it for "failure to submit" type tickets, since they are often times dismissed on the spot.

If by DA you mean prosecutor, generally it never hurts to hear what he/she will offer. You can request ...

Re: Zero Tolerance for 1st 5 years of driving...

That is why more than half of the Autobahn can have no posted speed limit but it has the lowest collision rate of any major road network in the world.

I belive most (if not all) of Autobahn has the speed limit of "No less than (something)". The speed limit is also adjusted via overhead displays depending on weather, traffic conditions, and there ...

To answer some implied questions

My own post might be off-topic in this thread, but I think it is required here.

If I feel that the post is off-topic, I will edit it. For future reference, I side with others who mentioned it, thinking it might be best to separate the actual post (What you write) from the law exerpts. Whoever needs to read all of the section may still easily do so ...
