Cars & trucks are hazardous to the people they 'tangle' with. Too much so. Cars & trucks don't really belong in highly populated areas. you tangle with a pedestrian and they get knocked down and you go over the handle bars. I keep my eyes open for jaywalkers. I've never hit a pedestrian (not even ones in dark clothing at night,) and have no intentions of so doing. and watch out for people exiting parkes cars, that opening door can hurt. I ride well away from the door zone for just that reason. -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats [curlicue] vcn [point] bc [point] ca |

Dudes, you've been trolled. Simple as that. The OP was a troll, who included the NASCAR newsgroup in hopes of starting a flame war. DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. |

... At the hearing (which is an arraignment) simply be very nice and cordial to the judge, always refer to him or her as "Your Honor", only talk when he or she asks you a question, and explain what happened *when asked*. Nothing will **** off a judge faster than just blabbing in court. If you are nice about it, and have some proof that the bike light thing has been fixed, then the judge will probably dismiss the failure-to-appear and the bike light both. Being nice in a room full of jerks goes a long way.... Wearing a coat and tie can't hurt, either. In a roomfull of jerks with their plumber's cracks showing and wearing their holiest T-shirts, looking like a non-violator is a good thing. --Karen M. IANAL |
