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. |

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... -- Don Bruder - - New Email policy in effect as of Feb. 21, 2004.

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. On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 10:33:26 -0500, Mike Romain > wrote: >You are lucky he had a sense of humor...

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....

My > mistake was bothering to go to work today. 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. > 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. 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 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. 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 > original. 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. > On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 10:33:26 -0500, Mike Romain > > wrote: > > >You are lucky he had a sense of humor...

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. |
