I knew <br />some had gotten tickets but didn't<br />know it had been challenged in court and it was OK now.<br /><br />I was stopped by a Policeman <br />on Harley Ave. doing 35 in a 20 zone. I had just moved here and I<br />told him I was a newcomer and was not familiar with the Town. He said welcome and just be careful and let me go. Thank goodness he let me go and said be careful. I have never had a ticket.<br />shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-85902036172939582692014-02-09T16:21:52.913-05:002014-02-09T16:21:52.913-05:00I don't flash my lights, but would if there wa...I don't flash my lights, but would if there was an opportunity to do so. I had to laugh about the police hiding behind bill boards and such; hubby got such a traffic ticket about 3 weeks ago, they called it "code enforcement" but I called it "way to get city revenue". He didn't see the sign where you were supposed to stop at red near the train tracks and went ahead of the tracks instead of behind them. Sure enough 3 police cars were around the corner, out of view, and one directed him to pull over where he got a ticket. Still waiting to see what the fine might be for that and if he can go to traffic school so it won't show up on his DMV record. We live right by a speed trap; in fact the police use our street to pull the people over. At times they have had 4 police cars and 2 motorcycle cops working it. And they are constantly writing tickets the times they are there. I'm sure the city has them do it a lot when they are trying to meet budget :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-44913337040051882412014-02-09T12:35:15.452-05:002014-02-09T12:35:15.452-05:00I don't recall ever flashing my lights, but ha...I don't recall ever flashing my lights, but have had people do it to me. I think it's a nice thing to do for most time they're letting you know there's an accident a head. Another time we were coming from Dothan and between here and Enterprise a highway patrol meeting us flashed his blue light on me, only once. Grover said okay now you are speeding and he will turn around and ticket you. He keep going thank goodness. I don't think I was speeding not much anyway. Lol. Take care.

Then they get a ticket in the mail.<br /><br />Sometimes going thru a yellow light is not good enough for those cameras. People have faught the outcome in court for going thru a red light when in fact the light was still yellow.<br /><br />Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718940729278446028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-75350020001438924682014-02-09T11:14:49.184-05:002014-02-09T11:14:49.184-05:00«Louis» thanks you for your visits and comments wh...«Louis» thanks you for your visits and comments while he hasn't been able to reciprocate because of moving...

It makes him look guilty as sin even if he isn't. People down here used to thank you for moving over to the shoulder to let them pass but more and more or not doing it anymore. Used to in classes to lower our insurance they would say it is against the law to drive on the shoulder but with the oil traffic we have to let the trucks pass or get run over. I don't know it the law has been changed or if they just look the other way.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-10339628943104310712014-02-09T09:31:35.826-05:002014-02-09T09:31:35.826-05:00I used to flash my lights as a warning but stopped...I used to flash my lights as a warning but stopped because I thought it was against the law now to do so. I didn't realize we are ok to do so once more. I think it is a good way to warn others to slow down for whatever reason. I have often turned my lights on and off to let another know they forgot to turn their headlights on. I know I've forgotten my self and appreciated having someone let me know. Curtesy on the road seems to be a thing of the past but it is always appreciated. I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
