Sure was too fast for conditions. If someone is hanging outside your
vehicle, then zero is an appropriate speed, and anything above that is
definitely too fast for conditions. -Dave

But... "No charges were filed."

Oughta be. literally got run off the road by some mouthbreathing female
today. I'm not sure if she just didn't realize that she was supposed to
look in her mirrors before changing lanes, or was trying to pull a
"reakhavoc" and didn't realize that she wasn't even far enough ahead of
me for me to see she had her signal on... I ****in' hate people, I
really do.

No damage I hope.

Same thing happened to me the same night I got that ticket... Of course
no cop around then... not that a cop would have done anything about it
had he been there anyway.

Also, if the person falls out of the vehicle, any speed above zero for
the other drivers is also too fast for conditions.

Damn...we're starting to sound like LBVH here...watch out...

Actually, if you're going to argue that, then eventually we'd get to the
point where everybody is speeding as soon as they put the car in drive. The
only way to prepare for a body sliding from another moving vehicle into the
path of your vehicle is to simply park your own car, and LEAVE it parked,
until you can be sure that such will never happen.

That's why I'm not surprised that no charges have been filed against the
driver who ran the idiot over. But his friend who was driving the vehicle
the idiot was hanging off of? As a minimum, he should have his driver's
license revoked, permanantly, and that revocation should apply to all of
North America, as well as the rest of the world. He has no business at all
operating a motor vehicle, anywhere, EVER. -Dave

Someone didn't understand the sport. You're supposed to be wearing
inline skates or riding a skateboard when you're skitching.
