Re: [PLUG] WAYYYY Off Topic.... [Speeding Ticket]DOOH!!


Wow! Quite a rendition of rules!! I didn't know this
would generate such an interest on the PLUG list. I
just got back from having lunch with my attourney. I
don't have a trial date or anything but I will post
some kind of page when it's all done detailing what
happend and what to do if you get into this situation.
That said, I've seen some negative comments regarding
my driving habbits and received a few emails about it.


Im not a habitual speeder. There were extenuating
circumstances in this case - I was trying to bring a
power adapter to a credit card machine we were using
to process tickets for a Cancer Benefit downtown. We
were losing money and I needed to get there asap.
Anyway, Im not condoning my excessive speed but I just
want to set the record strait... I don't typically
drive like that... nore have I hit any bikers, stolen
lollypops from any babies, or pushed over helpless old
ladies.

Anyway, I want to thank everyone for their
suggestions. I'll post a followup sometime down the
road.

Cheerios, - JP
