| IdiotMachine 12/12/17 7:27:16 PM #9 | DK9292 posted... Does New York not have traffic lights? It does, but pedestrians (myself included) just walk even if its red light for walking, or just walk if the perpendicular traffic starts to turn yellow, assuming the cars will stop. Pedestrians also don't wait by the curb, and will just literally stand waiting on the road, making it more difficult for vehicles turning right (not that they can, because pedestrians walking on the other side makes it impossible, unless you scootch your car forward inch by inch and just push people out of the way). |

| IdiotMachine 12/12/17 7:15:23 PM #1 | Cracked Articles hit this on the nose about living in a city. Regarding driving in a city: It's particularly harrowing because when pedestrians have the right of way, they just fucking go. Considering how cold and cynical city-dwellers are supposed to be, these people seem to have supreme confidence in the goodwill and braking reflexes of their fellow urbanites.

| Topic | Why is Jones (AL-D candidate) spending his time with black voters? |
| IdiotMachine 12/11/17 9:03:45 PM #1 | After dark, Mr. Moore rallied supporters in this rural area of southeast Alabama, a near-certain trove of Republican votes. Mr. Jones, who spent his weekend appearing with prominent black Democrats, campaigned in Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabamas two most populous cities, to try to energize urban and African-American voters who would be central to a Democratic victory. Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/11/us/alabama-roy-moore-doug-jones.html These are the voters who will vote democrat... go out to try to convince the rural places that Moore isn't a good candidate. |

| Topic | Got pulled over for passing a cop on the right at 114mph in a 55mph zone. |
| IdiotMachine 12/11/17 8:38:50 PM #107 | Muffinz0rz posted... The last thing a fucking cop wants on their watch is for a driver to get out of the car on an active highway and get nailed by another car. That's why cops always park a little bit closer to the lane -- to serve as a shield of sorts in case a passing car drifts too close.. I exited to local roads, and pulled over to a parking lot. I did not pull over on the highway, because I felt that was too dangerous. |

| IdiotMachine 12/10/17 8:56:25 AM #103 | Kirby posted... As a cop, the most unbelievable part about this story is not the warning for the speed, its the him waving you to come to his car while he sits inside part. Why is that unbelievable? He really did that. If it matters, I was wearing a button down shirt with dress pants and shoes, with a dress jacket hanging in the back seat window. He probably didn't see me as a threat. Another poster pointed out that it must have been cold, and it was, indeed, literally freezing (since it was lightly snowing). |

| Topic | Got pulled over for passing a cop on the right at 114mph in a 55mph zone. |
| IdiotMachine 12/09/17 8:26:33 PM #57 | So I was Googling, and found this: Under a little-noticed Pennsylvania State Police decision in 2012, Philadelphia police officers lost the authority to cite drivers for speeding on interstate highways in the city. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Suit-Philly-cops-improperly-issuing-speeding-tickets-on-highways.html I wonder if that's why he didn't give me a ticket! I can't remember if he was Philadelphia police or not. |

At most they give u a court date I thought I believe if you're going over double the speed limit and break a couple other laws while doing so, they can jail you. Besides, the police can jail you for no reason for upto 24 hours (as I understand it). glitteringfairy posted... As other people said I hope and wish that you lose your license. That's completely reckless and not justifiable in any way. People like you are why innocent people die. I truly hope you take that encounter to heart and never do this again. There are no excuses for your actions and you demonstrated a total selfish disregard for everyone's safety on that road with you. Absolutely. This was stupid and reckless. |

Cops let a lot of things slide if they like you and feel like you're legitimately scared or remorseful for your actions. But you gotta be respectful the whole way. He definitely let me off easy. My wife was in the car yelling at me when he came to my window, and I was terrified because I legitimately thought I would go to jail. |

| IdiotMachine 12/09/17 5:11:12 PM #31 | Villain posted... Don't most cars have a govern that limit your speed anyway? My car's speed governor hits at 145mph. And I didn't know there was a cop... Why the fuck would I do that if I knew he was a cop? As far as how I didn't know how fast I was going, I knew I was going over 90mph, but didn't know how much over because I was trying to pass a pair of "slow" drivers (cop in the middle lane, "slow" driver in the left lane). My intent was to speed up to pass both on the right lane and then go to the left lane cutting those two drivers off, before I had no space to do so. Basically, I was being a dumbass. |
| Topic | Got pulled over for passing a cop on the right at 114mph in a 55mph zone. |
| IdiotMachine 12/09/17 4:18:59 PM #1 | He asked me if I knew what the speed limit was. I told him I legitimately did not know (truth), and assumed it was 70mph (which is the interstate speed limit in PA). He asked me how fast did I think I was going, and I told him I didn't know... He said he clocked me at around 100mph, and the speed limit on I-95 was 55mph. He asked me for my license, registration, and insurance. He then asked me if I had any tickets or warrants; I told him my record was clean (truth), and he went back inside his car. I was sweating bullets at this point... I thought I was going to get arrested. He used his PA system and told me to get out of the car. At this point, I thought to myself that I will DEFINITELY get arrested. He waved his hand for me to come towards his driver side. I obliged, and he asked if I wanted to go to jail today. I told him "I would prefer not". He then asked if I wanted a ticket today. I told him "I would rather get a ticket over going to jail, but I would prefer neither". He then said "you were going 114 when you passed me on my right; this is your warning", and he gave me back my documents. Holy fucking shit. I was ecstatic! I'm never driving fast again... |

| IdiotMachine 12/08/17 5:20:27 PM #15 | Home inspection is usually done AFTER the offer is accepted... And you can absolutely back out after the home inspection. It should be in the clause when you give your offer to them. You can also renegotiate after the inspection finds some stuff (e.g. Lower the price more or have them fix stuff). |
