Just had a phone call from DH. He just got a ticket for 'failing to come to a complete stop' at a stop sign. The poor man couldn't stop apologising.
The thing is though, he reckons he did come to a complete stop and the cop apologised to him for giving him a ticket.... when he said that he thought he had come to a stop the cop said "we'll not in my opinion". Not a lot you can do about it I guess but it is a waste of $150 Edited to remove dodgy comment

| You have to stop for at least 3 secs to be considered a stop. My husband nearly got done for the same thing but the cop let him off |

Not dodgy IMO, and noisybaby is correct, you have to come to a full stop (ie: the vehicle is completely still) for about 3 seconds before you take off again. ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

Oh stink. That's the only thing my Dad's ever had a ticket for. Unfortunately it's your DH's word against the cops so although he can argue it it might be to no avail. If he has a completely unblemished driving record it might be worth a shot but I wouldn't get my hopes up. -------------

Ha! My Dh got a ticket for the same thing a few years ago!! Dh has never had a ticket before, nor had one since! Very frustrating to get one for something like that. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

My DH has never had one either, and still reckons he came to a complete stop and started again but never mind, it happens!
The worst was our friend who got done for not wearing a seatbelt, when he was wearing a seatbelt. Anyway, not meant as a complaint against the police, I think they do a fantastic job (although in this case I think they have it slightly wrong). |
