Conflict of Interest 3165BULLpoo. Why is that that on many roads the speed limits were higher 30 years ago than they are now...
This street is a very well known one. The speed limit is fifty and I was going about 25 because the traffic was extremely heavy there was no way to go fast.
Conflict of Interest 3164Dave Head This would be a GREAT idea if it weren't so stupid... Speed limits aren't unreasonable... even if *everybody* thinks so or chooses to ignore them...
Unfortunatly there is no way for me to see if there is a space between the cars. There are three lanes of bumper to bumper traffic at a red light. The third lane did not have as many cars and I was already breaking on my way up to the stop light -- which is the main reason why no one was seriously injured.
In all honesty I saw the nose of their vehicle peak out and I honked on my horn while slamming on my breaks. Instead of them stopping they speed up and that is how I hit the tail end of their car. I do believe that I'll win the accident case because they were not yielding. My main concern is about the ticket.
Conflict of Interest 3166Motorhead Lawyer I don't think he's failed to recognize that, and it's probably true. But I don't think most of the lunatics here are thinking "open road". And...
I see the situation you were in and I have done that many times before. You already knew that the other lanes were stopping for some reason so you do the same. The problem with my case was that there were about twenty cars already lined up at the red light. My buttumption (which is accurate) is that they are stopped because of the red light. There was no way for me to know that they had a small gap in between them to let a car go by. Glad you were able to avoid an accident though, hitting a pedistrian would have been a horrible experience. :(
Thank you for the advice, Lynda
