Here is the scenario: I borrow Scott Klines trailer to bring my car home last month. Everything works out great. The following week I take it back to him. On the way there I am begining to start my merge left as the 60 and the I-5 split is getting pretty close, maybe 3-5 miles away (remember this is L.A. traffic so you need to start planning alot sooner). I'm doing exactly 50 mph. CHP pulls me over. I'm nice (really didn't know why he stopped me). I ask, "Is there a problem?". He says, "I stopped you because you are pulling a trailer in the number 2 lane". I say "Oh. I didn't know it was illegal". He asks for the usual paperwork and walks back to his car. I sit and wait for almost 10 minutes while he does all of his "Wants & Warrants" checks. I'm thinking everything is in order so he'll give me a warning and I'll be on my way. Comes back with ticket book in hand and tells me he's going to cite me, "FUCH!!!. I remain polite and sign the ticket. Guess what came in the mail yesterday?????
EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVEN MOTHER FUCHIN DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This I will fight. |

The only problem with the lights on when it's raining is that they leave it wide open to interpretation based on the officer. The new statute says that they have to be on when it is raining but if it is just enough to effect visibility then the wipers should be set for the conditions...
I hope you all have functioning intermintent wipers. And they are calibrated to the freakin little shit's heighth that pulled you over or you will be fighting one as well. |
