[Shotimes] OT: Help! Unfair traffic ticket!

[Timothy Wright]

I got a ticket like that years ago,  I was in a big hurry and jumping slow
cars like checkers. I got a ticket for not using my signals and that was the
only thing I did right.

Turn signals will not work on the inside if they don't work on the out side,
I got a mechanic to write a BS not that the jack was laying in the mist of
frayed wires and this feature did not work.

The cop testified first talked about how he shawoded me fromm my blind spot,
and all most hit him. !00% BS.

So I made him admit if he intentionaly kept his car where he knew I could
not see it it was HIS responsibility to avoit contact. It was His fault we
almost had a n accident.

Actualy I never took my eyes off him and we were never close.

I just out lied him.

Cops, love 'em or hate 'em

Tim
