The sign would be correct even if it said $13.75. As far as the inflated fine, California is wasting money far more quickly that they can figure out ways to get it. The state has no incentive to...

Countries can't even float.:rolleyes:

Aaron...are you aware of any major chain store (Wal-mart, Target, REI, Sears, etc.) ever retaining a civil demand company that ever sued anyone, ever? If so, in which court did it take place? I don't...

Are you thinking of becoming a pirate?? (I'm not one but when I was in the Navy, I did drink a lot of rum...Arghhhh!!)

You need to read my post again...especially the last sentence. I'd respond further but I couldn't make sense of most of what you wrote.:confused:

Civil demand firms (almost all in either Florida or New York) don't sue people; they try to intimidate people. An investigative reporter did a story on the subject (on ABC, as I remember) and found...

Personally, if I blew a .17 twice, I'd go to court and ask for the 'standard disposition' and I wouldn't waste a nickel on a lawyer unless I thought there was some compelling reason that I could...

I wouldn't hire a lawyer and I wouldn't pay the civil demand. You're not going to be arrested and your chances of being sued are incredibly close to zero. I WOULD stay out of Ross stores.

I find this one interesting! Highway 101 is a mess and he was most likely trying to create a 'traffic break' (slowing down traffic behind him) because there was some traffic problem ahead.....I've...

I just mentioned the part about lane sharing as an aside although I also feel sure he knows the difference since so many of the CHP motor officers regularly do it . I think the important part is...

As long as you were within the lane, you were "lane splitting" (which I'm sure you know). It's an interesting situation because, in California, it's considered to be neither legal nor illegal. The...

I've owned motorcycles in 4 different countries and have rented them in about a dozen others. In most countries, you can ride temporarily with either what appears to be a valid license from your...

I think you'll find that once the property is his, there is no way that any conditions you make will be enforceable, but a real, live estate attorney could give you information you could rely upon...

I think you'd have about as good of luck suing your hairdresser....or, maybe, McDonald's.;)

For those who might have interest: The Zimbabwe dollar is worth almost nothing anywhere. There's a website that sells a trillion Z$ for $9.99 U.S.

It was abandoned as official currency of the...

I'd take it no matter where I lived unless I felt certain (as advised by counsel) that I'd prevail at trial.

Any appreciation in your cars or anything else that you already own will be yours alone.

The same would hold true for your house if you truly owned it. Since there's a mortgage, the situation can...

Texas is a community property state so each of you retain ownership of individual assets that you own prior to marriage. However, most assets acquired after marriage become community property and...

I purchased a brand new BMW automobile and picked it up at the factory in Munich. You have absolutely zero to worry about as far as it meeting U.S. specifications.

Even if BMW would sell you a...

I think your attorney is in a much better position to know that than anyone you'll hear from here. So, what did your attorney say about that possibility?

What you've described is a growing (and dangerous) problem in California. All too often, people have the strange notion that when they merge onto the freeway, that motorists already occupying a lane,...

Total nonsense! When attorneys have medical problems, they hire medical doctors. When medical doctors have legal problems, they hire attorneys...think about it.

The point of the article that I referenced is that it doesn't have any effect....nor would you expect that it would (at least I wouldn't).;)

Some breathalyzers won't differentiate between ethyl and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) but I'm pretty sure (not certain) that all blood draws would.

For anyone who's interested, there was an...

The law doesn't say anything about talking on the phone. What it does say is that you can't USE the phone. I know several people who've tried defending their actions by producing phone...
