MisterOblivious posted:My license was suspended because of unpaid parking tickets. It happens to a few thousand people a year in my state. I guess some states are more aggressive on parking ticket enforcement. I received a notification in the mail years ago that I had an unpaid parking ticket from a city that has a reputation of supplementing its budget off of parking fees and fines. If I was actually ticketed I never received it (wasn't on my car when I came back), and they were very hesitant to send me a copy. They finally did, and I was able to determine that I was in another city some 150 miles away that day (I used to work as a field tech with a very wide territory, and my employer required very precise records of where you were on a given day on your timesheet.) Never did anything with it, and I never heard back from them and have renewed my license three times since.

The only reason I know they do that is because I did get a parking ticket in NYC that either blew off or was removed from my windshield, and I found out about it when I went to renew my license. That was a fun conversation to have at the DMV. "have you driven in the state of NY in the last 14 months?" "yeah, why?" "because your license is suspended in NY and you literally could have been pulled over and arrested at any point you were in NY in the last 14 months." This when I was making regular trips between Boston and NJ

I had that once for an unpaid $.50 on a ticket! It was written in sloppy handwriting and I mistook the $XX.50 as $XX.00 and wrote out the check and forgot about it. They actually sent me a copy of the paperwork that was ready to be filed for a warrant for me three states away.

I have never had a parking ticket since I don't use metered parking, I have howevered received a toll bill so late in the mail it had tacked on a $20 late fee by the time it go to me. The toll even had a handy info graphic showing just how fast they could gently caress your poo poo up and turn a 50 cent toll into $300 worth of late fees and other bullshit in about 1 years time. Similarly, I also received a warrant in the mail for a ticket specifically because the officer said I didn't have proof of insurance, I pulled it up on my phone while he was writing the ticket and he scratched it off of his paper copy that he handed me, which then immediately went into my trash since it was a non-ticket until however many months later it took to get a warrant out.

My favorite was the time I got a court summons for an unpaid parking ticket. So I showed them, one after another, the receipt for paying the ticket well before the due date, the canceled check (endorsed by the city) for the amount of the ticket with the parking ticket number in the memo field, and even the bank account record showing that the check had cleared. It goes without saying that no one even bothered to apologize for wasting my time with their lovely bookkeeping. The funny part? I wasn't even the one who parked illegally in the first place. I had decided to be nice and let my ex-girlfriend use my car for a day when she was in a bind. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess...

One of the comments on the Liveleak link makes a good point - the dude in front has given up their original decision to drive where they need to go, and is willing to go totally off-route to continue loving with the guy behind him. That kind of thing ever happens to me, I'm plugging the closest police station into my GPS.

I think there was another video here that showed a dude in a Chrysler 300 being a douche in front of some guy and the guy behind him filming pulled a similar maneuver. He was at a roundabout I think though so the grass and cement medians kept the 300 guy from swerving back after he turned. BOOTY-ADE fucked around with this message at 17:36 on May 1, 2018 |

It goes without saying that no one even bothered to apologize for wasting my time with their lovely bookkeeping. The people who deal with these tickets can kiss my rear end too - I had one years ago where I got accused of "racing" on my way home from work after midnight (I worked 3pm-12am at the time). The stretch of road I was on was notorious for speed traps and police hiding behind signs or in unlit areas, was a 45mph zone and I usually pegged my cruise between 45-50 on that whole stretch. On this particular night some idiot in a Civic pulled next to me, paced me for a couple blocks, then sped off to the next 4 way intersection, blowing through the red light to take a right turn. I slowed down and was going the same direction as the Civic, and as soon as I turned I had a cop right up my rear end pulling me over. Of course he pulls me up behind the Civic then 2 other police cars show up and I can hear them talking about how "they were racing" and "officer saw them flying down the road doing over 60" which were both bullshit anyways. I got the ticket (almost $300) for reckless driving, speeding, and failure to yield, even though the red light the Civic blew through had turned green before I got to it. Took it to court and set up a court date, and of course the first words out of the idiot behind the counter were "you know you can just pay this, right?  " Yeah gently caress that, I told her I wasn't paying for a mistake I didn't make, got the court date dealt with, and wouldn't you know...officer no-showed and his paperwork was all wrong (he put down wrong road names and speed limits so it looked like he was trying to get a larger citation). No points or any other fines, I was in and out in 20 minutes and didn't have to take any PTO since it was an early morning court appointment.

On first watch I was hoping it would be an intentional ramming, but nah, it was just a dingus unable to shake their fist at the offender and keep their car going straight, resulting in a boring run of the mill tank slapper.

Is that a cop following them or was it a random person stuck between "pump the brakes and make some space" and "oh poo poo powerlines are falling down down behind me, hit the gas."?

"...and THAT'S why you don't run red lights when cycling!" The truck probably should've seen the cyclist and stopped, but the cyclist was clearly in the intersection on a red signal.

I saw this almost happen in my neighborhood just the other day. 4 way stop, guy ahead of me had the right of way and his left turn signal on, cyclist coming the other way just blew the stop sign. The guy in the car didn't smack him because he saw the cyclist and fully expected him to run the stop and just let him do it, but he'd have been entirely in the right had he proceeded with his turn and gotten t-boned.

A few kids (and adults) around here have put weedwacker engines on their bikes and ride around town like traffic laws don't apply. "It's a bike, it's a toy, I'm just a kid playing in the street!" except now they're doing 20mph and lost the 'just keeping my momentum up' excuse for rolling through stops.

The second left turning truck (which was also running a red) blocked his view, blue truck floored it because the light was probably long since green by time the intersection cleared and at the point the cyclist registered it was too late. Cyclist is still a loving idiot though. Always assume everything is trying to kill you and loving don't run red lights.
