Default Mass State Police Sarcasim Unacceptable!

Not aure whom I should bitch to about this one, but this morning (it
is very snowly in Boston area today) I very slowly tried to make a
left hand turn and my Grand Marquis had not trraction. My car very
gently slid into a snow pile and there was no damage, no one hurt. In
doing this my car blocked the main traffic for all but 15 seconds
while I had to back up , straightene out and move along. A
Massachsetts State Trooper was in traffic and got on his megaphone and
shouted a sarcastice remark "Your Beatuiful" (I am male and not
beautiful.) These cops are real assholes. They think they have no one
to answer too and they have a right to abuse the public.

If that's the worst you got for failing to have your vehicle under
control, you need to shut up and be thankful. Anyplace I've driven, that
would have been a pretty pricey citation.

Fact: You screwed the pooch. Your vehicle was out of control in traffic.

You earned yourself a good solid slap upside the head, but by some good
fortune that I'd be thrilled about, you came out of it with nothing more
than a sarcastic comment that hurt your poor tender widdle feelings,
rather than the traffic ticket you fully deserved.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. My heart bleeds peanut butter for you.

No, I don't care in the least whether the weather was sunny and 90
degrees with clear dry pavement, or 90 below with the road covered by
six inches of snow over a three foot layer of glare ice - By your own
testimony, your vehicle was out of control. No ifs, no ands, no buts. It
was out of control. The cop would have been in the right if he'd decided
to pull you down and slap you with a ticket. Instead, he made a
sarcastic comment and watched you drive away. Shut up and be happy
that's all he did.

And one last thing: grow a spine, you snivelling putz!

Christ... and they wonder why MA is so often seen as a bunch of
pansy-assed whiners...

You are lucky he had a sense of humor... He could have cited you for
making an unsafe left turn ( or going too fast for conditions) or for
driving with unfit tires/vehicle if you weren't going too fast or have
bald summers on or even just summer tires on.

If indeed you are driving totally out of control in the winter because
you have no clue or bad tires, then he 'should' have nailed you before
your next out of control left turn kills someone.

To clarify this, I was more or less rolling at about 2 mph and the
road just simply was all ice and the car slipped to the side. The rest
or the trafice was either stopped or rolling at 2 mph. The left turn
was also sort of banked on a slight incline. No one can control a
vehicle under those conditions unless you have a military tank with
treads. The only safe speed here is 0 mph for any normal car. My
mistake was bothering to go to work today.
You are correct, if you are not under control or your vehicle and you
say hit some one, in MA you are at fault no mater what the road
conditons are. So, I was not in control of my car. There are no
perfect drivers in this world not even the people on this newsgorup.

I already went and bitched at the State Police Barricks in person, so
I suppose they could have cited while I was there but they told me
that the trooper has no business making a remark like that and I
should forget it.

At least I had the nerve to approach them in person instead of using
vulgar email or phone calls.

One reply to this post was extremely vulgar even more than my
original.

Very poor. Guess this newsgroup has to go.

You are right, there are days when the smart thing to do is just stay
home. Sounds like the conditions warranted that.

We own 2 Jeeps with 4x4 and I still will cancel stuff in a storm rather
than take the chance of someone hitting me or having to sit for hours
while vehicles around me just can't move.

There were something like 550+ accidents in the last storm here in
southern Canada according to the paper and the cops said 'most' were
single vehicle accidents caused by improper tires and improper speed for
the conditions so you sure weren't alone....

Regardless of how you might want to dance around the reality, your own
testimony says that *YOUR* VEHICLE* *WAS* *OUT* *OF* *CONTROL*. Why it
was out of control, how it got that way, what speed you were doing, how
the road was shaped, or any other consideration you care to dream up is
null and void. The only part that matters is that your vehicle, by your
own admission, was out of control. If you're not capable of keeping your
vehicle under control *NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS* then you shouldn't
be on the road, period. You got lucky this time - you didn't cream a
kid, or cause someone else to wreck. But when all the chips have been
counted, luck has nothing to do with the fact that you didn't have your
vehicle under control, and were fully deserving of a nice pricey ticket.

The part that amazes me is that you're stupid enough to COMPLAIN because
instead of a ticket, all you got was a sarcastic comment. Absolutely
unreal... That someone could be that stupid, and still manage to be
literate enough to whine about it absolutely boggles the mind.

Nobody claimed there was, chum. Most of us do a pretty good job of
keeping our vehicles under control while driving, though, perfect or
not. And when we fail, we don't come crying to a newsgroup 'cause a cop
who witnessed the event was kind enough to let us off with nothing more
than a sarcastic comment, rather than writing us a $200+ ticket.

I can just imagine the conversation after you left... Probably went
something like "What kind of IDIOT was that?!?!?"

> At least I had the nerve to approach them in person instead of using
> vulgar email or phone calls.


"At least you had the nerve..."??? Gimme a break - You piled another
stupidity on top of your first. Ah, well... At least now the cops know
that you're a snivelling fool, and might actually take a more deliberate
look at you and your obviously sub-par driving skills because of that
knowledge.

> One reply to this post was extremely vulgar even more than my

Vulgar??? <snicker> If you're referring to my first response to your
whining as vulgar, you've got one helluva lot to learn about what
constitutes vulgarity, sonny-boy!

> Very poor. Guess this newsgroup has to go.


Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. But do keep this
fact in mind: YOU screwed up. In a manner that could have been fatal to
the people around you. You managed to get lucky, and instead of being
cited for it, you got an "editorial comment" from the cop who watched
your screwup. Anybody with an ounce of sense would be saying "Jeeze! I
was stupid! I sure am glad that the cop didn't ticket me when he had
every right to!" and moving on with their life. Instead, you're sitting
here whining about how mistreated you are. Awwww. Poor baby. I wish I
could get "mistreated" like that when I screw the pooch that big.

If you lost control at merely 2mph, because your car lost traction,
how on earth did you manage to find enough traction to pull your
car out of the snow pile, without help?

I have driven on black ice at 20mph. I lost control because I had
air in the rear brakelines of my RWD car. Once I unditched the vehicle,
with the help of about eight people, I drove home at about 16mph, took
the unbled rears into account, and suffered no further incident.
[It is not that I had **no** rear braking, only that the rears would not
lock up, which is sometimes convenient.]

I choose to believe that you are a poor judge of speed, as I have yet to
see a speedo that comes off of the peg before 10mph.

its not really worth re-telling.

You came here for sympathy, no one gave you any and now you're whining about
that.
