How to fight a Stop Sign violation

[Chopper]

I was hit by an idiot like you once....I don't think you want to hear any of the other stuff I have to say to you....or how I feel about your moronic behavior....and the way you've chosen to conduct yourself on the highways.

In life we all at least once miss a road sign,you can't get away from it,it's part of being a human being,we bear with the faults & fails we born with & we got to live with it.

It takes only a matter of a second to see your life gone or catastrofy took place behind the wheel;i strongly believe that every time you sit behind the wheel is a chance you are taking,doesn't matter how good you're behind the wheel,how much experience you got on your shoulder and how carefully you drives,driving is always risky no matter what.

Personally i drove thru red lights,stop signs & doing wrong turns during my life as a driver, ( and you will laugh at me once you see how i drives )thankfully nothing never happened,but every time it happens my heart beats up pretty fast because i know it could be the last minute of my life.

I also follow the basics : don't use my cell,don't eat/drink & avoid chit chating while driving,it just gets you unfocussed no matter what,specially in a city where the worst drivers in the entire US are all behind the wheel.

Getting the traffic ticket dismissed the way you did i could never do that,i understand your desperation having more points adding up in your license,but it take BIG GUTS to do that,really big ones.

Just my 2 coins !

First of all you can tell from your posts that you ran the stop sign on purpose because it was late and you did not see any cops. And the laws do not apply to you.("this incident occured almost at midnight, in a neighborhood, and yes, i didnt stop, but I passed the intersection safely with <5mph speed. The cop could be more loyal in my opinion. But insted, he ran to me with questions: have you been drinking? I can smell alcohol! no sir, I was not! Ok, have you been smoking? Your eyes are bloodshot! No sir, I have not. Ok, then you ran the stop sign. Isnt the purpose of the traffic control is to pursue the safety of driving, but not collecting the money for the violations that dont put anybody at risk?") Second I vote to turn it in to the AZ PD and see what happens . I looked on there sight this morning but did not see a place to email it to them. shawn

chopper, please, be polite. I never hurt anybody while driving, and I hope I never shall

psychos2, your assumptions do not appear to be very logical: i didnt run the stop sign on purpose. i did make my turn as i would do it on any other streets without stop sign. and i never asserted that the laws do not apply to me.

anyway, the purpose of sharing this story was to show what and how can be done in such a situation; without expectations to get any positive/negative feedbacks. I do appreciate everybody's comments and i consider them valuable. Best regards, ZubrAZ

You live just over 10 miles from the seen of the crime. How long have you lived in that area? Have you driven down that street before? shawn

Ok, he's had enough.... Ima close this thread now.

Just for everyone's edification review the Forum Rules. For this case in particular, 5th paragraph from bottom.
