Was that one with Tim Robbins? I sort of remember it. . . . . . . . but obviously not very well.Quincy have you seen that movie? OP was admitting his guilt
Particularly in Iowa. We frequently share the road with very large, very slow moving vehicles this time of year (harvest time)."Passing lanes" do make sense in certain circumstances. What if a large vehicle is unable to maintain speed going up a hill?
It sounds like an honest clerical error to me. The person who entered the appearance date on the ticket likely did not realize that October 14 was a municipal holiday. Apparently, neither did you.i was also given a date and time to be in court, no one was there, i feel the system is off. i took off from work to be in court, if i didnt need to be there the ticket should read "call the clerk if you want to plead not guilty"
OP was quoting "Red" (Morgan Freeman.) Red was being ironic.Was that one with Tim Robbins? I sort of remember it. . . . . . . . but obviously not very well.
there is only one state I am aware of that allows one to surpass the posted limit while passing and it is not Iowa.sorry i didnt give my entire defence here. my point to the unethical cop is he allowed me to speed for miles without pulling me over, he was behind me and had a radar locked on me but waited to get my fastest speed while i passed a car. would he allow a domestic abuse to continue until teeth were knocked out, would he allow a drunk driver to go down the road until he commits vehicular homicide, why let me speed until i went fast enough to loose my license? i know i was speeding but he could have stopped me at that. it is in heavy traffic and i drive offencively, i addmit it, i have 20 years on a motorcycle with no accidents or tickets because im not waiting to get rear ended in after work traffic. not saying i shouldnt get a ticket just not the one i got
you must understand that the speed limit is just that; a limit. It is not a requirement. A person is not required to drive at the speed limit. Many states do address vehicles that drive so slowly as to cause a safety issue though. I believe in my state it is actually specified in code as 10 mph under the posted limit.To me "passing lanes" make no sense. If everyone did the speed limit there would be no need to pass.
Ok, advice:no passing lane i was traveling on a two lane road, probly speeding, went by cop that was at a stop sign waiting to pull onto the highway i was on. he had to wait for traffic so he was a mile or so behind me with cars in between. he drove like hell to get behind me, followed for miles just out of sight behind me then when i made a pass caught up to me and said he got me at a top speed during my pass, i know im guilty not my point, i would like to reduce this ticket, i know how dumb i am for speeding, not the point, came here for advice, get it? i was also given a date and time to be in court, no one was there, i feel the system is off. i took off from work to be in court, if i didnt need to be there the ticket should read "call the clerk if you want to plead not guilty"
