Equality in the eyes of the law

nice site - I look forward to posting more

I've had my fair share of speedy tickets - one was for being caught doing 140 (luckily I'd slowed down from 230) - I went to court and got off. I'm a girl - do you ad me to the list of tossers who get off tickets??

Not your fault, but if you'd had balls you'd have stayed at 230

Oooh burn!

He'd been charged with dangerous, but the cops reduced it to careless.

If they couldn't prove dangerous driving then I would have thought that exceeding the posted speed limit would have been the appropriate charge. Why did they go to careless? What apart from his speed amounted to being careless? It sounds like it was some sort of a downgrade for a guilty plea, (plea bargain).

Is that one nil to MSTRS?
My cousin got off with a slap on the wrist for a potentially nasty accident. He was speeding in an industrial area at night in the rain, went over a raised bridge that had a right hander immediately after. He lost control, spun out and hit a lamp post (possibly concrete) hard enough to demolish it, the left rear quarter of his 280Z had to be cut out and replaced.

Why did he get off with a warning? The judge said "you are a hard working young man from a fine and upstanding family" or something to that effect....

Depends, I guess, what you mean by "nuclear free". Given that New Zealand is riddled with radioactive material (yes, gentle readers, it is part of us all), and radioactive isotopes are manufactured and used by many organisations on a daily basis, then nuclear "freedom" is not something we can boast. Unless we're talking about the two safest forms of nuclear energy -- ships and power stations -- in which case we don't want any of that shit here, thank you very much!

It's pronounced Nukular

yeah screw the smoke detectors - we want safe shit like that Chernobyl and 5 Mile Island. And we'll get Union Carbide to run it!
