Old Lady Braked For No Reason

[The Frugie]

JarMow:
I really envy you. When I make an assertion, I always feel this uncontrollable urge to explain it logically. You, on the other hand, can spew out whatever inane thought you come up with, not back it up with any kind of reasoning, and be completely comfortable with that. Must be nice.

rmet4nzkx:
Oh hell, why bother?

To everyone else, keep the posts coming, so long as you can put some kind of reasoning behind your opinion. And if your reasoning is one of the points I've already countered, spare your fingers the effort of typing it.

If keeping you at your computer keeps you off the streets, the world is a better place.

Speaking of staying on the computer too much, rmet4nzkx, you've written 6,376 posts in a span of 8 months. That's 26.07 posts per day. With that in mind I present to you a concept: Increasing supply decreases value. Your responses are worthless, and from here on out I'll be treating them as such. You have a nice night.

And most of those posts are providing advice pro bono rather than looking for excuses like you do for your bad behavior, BIG difference!

Counting posts bye strangers does what for you? Does it change YOUR problem? Grow up, reality is a kick in the face.

I picked apart JETX's post and refuted every reason he gave for me being in the wrong.

Of course, you are correct and everyone else (no matter how legally experienced) is incorrect.
By all means, go to court. Fight for your rights... and let us know how it comes out. Best of luck to you in your wonderful 'adventure'.

And I give this 'defense' 10 minutes before the judge gives our poster a lesson is LIFE!

Or, based on this 'poster's' attitude, sad sack venture

Ultravox - Love's Great Adventure Lyrics
Standing on my own
It didn't mean that much to me
I thought I had it all
I didn't see the mystery
I stood the test of time
I took the step to find
Love's great adventure

I spoke a million words
They didn't mean that much to me
They rang around my head
Like empty tuneless harmonies
Love's great adventure mine

Lying side by side
It didn't mean that much to me
I started to enjoy
The poetry and symphonies
I took it in my stride
I hailed the Day i tried
Love's great adventure

A fool who couldn't see
It didn't mean that much to me
I couldn't understand
That's how the game is meant to be
Love's great adventure mine

Standing on my own
It didn't mean that much to me
I thought I had it all
I didn't see the mystery
I stood the test of time
I took the step to find
Love's great adventure

I suspect the people leaving flippant responses all fall into one of three categories: failed lawyers; people who hold a law degree but work outside the field; and failed law students. While you might claim to be legal experts, the fact remains: If you were as knowlegable as you claim to be, you'd be out assisting clients and making money, not devoting your existence to a message board. I think you guys were dealt a cruel hand by the real world and/or law school, and now feel the need to relay that cruelty to others, of course hiding behind the interenet's anonymity. All of this "pro bono" work you guys are doing is no more than a spiteful attack on the world that spurned your 'legal genius'. But, whatever. You're not gonna hijack my thread. The floor is still open to anyone who's ready to respond in a substantive manner. Also, I wonder why seniorjudge hasn't weighed in on this yet. I'd like to know his opinion on the matter.

Why are you still whining and bitching?? You have already been told what you wanted to hear....

I just saw this thread.

Doesn't matter why she stopped. I've braked midblock because I saw a ball bouncing into the street that looked like it had a kid following behind. The child DID stop short of the road- but if they hadn't, at least I had been alert enough to stop in time. I've also braked midblock because I saw a dog headed into my path. On another occassion, I just missed a deer at dusk.

Point is - an alert driver should not be too close to stop - no matter what. Especially on a city street. Mister - bottom line is, if you hit her from behind, YOU are at fault.

Amen! Even if the lady had a very good reason to hit her brakes, this guy would have rear-ended her anyway.
