I agree 100% ! Already received MY $140 - 3 point ticket! Judge reduced it to "impeding traffic" from improper passing but kept the fine the same. He actually said in court, "There are no officers here because you are all guilty. We all know it's about the money.'" To contest it means a return trip to court and they'll subpeona the officer to attend...meaning OT the township does not want to pay.
What's wrong to big a hurry to wait a few minutes. I have never had that much of a problem in 30+ years, with the exception of the drivers that pass on the shoulder illegally.
I have no problem waiting. When I moved it was to avoid being rear-ended. As a result, the person in front of me was hit. Cop made me wait while he addressed that (fortunately nobody was badly hurt) THEN wrote me the ticket. Both cop and Judge said I should have let myself be hit. BULLcrap to that!
If people don't think it is needed why are so many driving on shoulder to get around. not safe?
Police just sit around waiting to ticket you. Shouldn't they bring it to MDOT to change?
