Someone I know got a ticket for driving in the breakdown lane- this was during heavy holiday traffic. This person went to fight the ticket by lying and saying that a soft drink had been spilled on their baby by their other child and that he was merely trying to get off the road to clean up the crying baby, and he went on to add that the police officer was very rude to him when he was trying to explain the situation- totally fabricated. His reward for lying- yup the ticket got thrown out.

Someone I work with got a ticket for going through a red light . She decided to fight the ticket by saying there was alot going on in the intersection that she was concentrating on and she didn't see the traffic signal. She did not get the ticket waived.



It seems to me that when driving now, yellow is the new green. I see many drivers punching the gas to get through a yellow, often a very stale yellow. I find myself having to wait at a green light for the people who think that yellow means speed up and keep going. I was always taught that yellow means stop if is safe to stop.
