Job Security!

Got this guy coming home from the Carolina Panther/New England Patriot game last night.  It was in a 55 MPH work zone
and he had a .07 alcohol concentration.  

He was not driving fast, he was just flying too low... lol
And yes, he had few blood in his alcoholic stream...

Wow, was he using a radar detector?

E, do you guys do double fines for violations in posted work zones?
We do up here in AK..
Our legal limit is .08

.08 in Mo. As well and it is double in work zones here to there passin a law to take our legal limit to .05 here now just waiting to hear when it starts

WOW!!! The speed alone in CA is enough to arrest on Felony..... 0.07 and driving wreckless through a construction zone = enough time in the clink for a serious domestic partnership to occur!!!! Excuse me, this is CA so Marriage LOL.... 

.07 I walk around all day with lol

He didn't have one but it would NOT have worked anyway, as you can see, that is a time distance device.
I clocked him for .1790 miles and he went that distance in 6.58 seconds which his average speed was 97.9
I was following him. I had clocked him earlier at 81/55 and came up behind him as he was speeding up.

Rapid, the fines for speeding in a work zone are $250.00 plus the cost of court which is $438.00 at the moment.
DWI is also .08 here, I explained to him how close he was to going to jail and how I could have taken him for that
speed anyway. I also charged him for reckless driving since he was 42 MPH over the speed limit.


I hear ya Kid, I had a judge MANY years ago in Federal Magistrates Court when I was a MP in the Army that would tell
people pleading guilty to DWI "It is not guilty to drink and drive, it is guilty to drink TOO much and drive"

E WHEN U SAY A WORK ZONE IS THAT I.E ROADWORKS ETC ....IF SO IN AUSTRALIA IT IS GENERALLY 40KMH IN THE CITIES/TOWNS...FOR COUNTRY IT IS GENERALLY 60KMH.....OUR ALCOHOL LIMIT IS .05 RIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
JUST FOR THE .07 HE WOULD HAVE LOST HIS LICENCE FOR 7 MONTHS IF ITS HIS FIRST DRINK DRIVING OFFENCE .14 MONTHS IF SECOND OFFENCE AND SO ON..HE WOULD HAVE ALSO LOST HIS LICENCE FOR SPEEDING MORE THAN 30 KMH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT SENTENCE IS UP TOO JUDGES DISCRETION..AND FINES ROUGHLY ABOUT $1000..

Here in NC, to add the additional fine, it has to be "Posted" a work zone with a sign that states what the fine is going to be.
I have heard MANY times when I have told them that the fine was $438.00 their response was "The sign said $250.00" and I told them
"you have to add the court costs"

I guess they were willing to accept a $250.00 fine but when you add the court costs and it brings it up to $438.00 that it is more than they bargained for.

There is talk about the lowering the alcohol concentration but I think that will have a hard time passing. Here in NC if you are convicted of speeding more than 15
MPH over the posted speed limit and your speed is in excess of 55 MPH your license will be revoked. Plus it requires you or your attorney to appear in court so a bunch of out of state people say "I am not from around here, I can't come back to court" I just explain to them that speeding over 15 MPH over the limit requires them or a attorney to appear for them whether they are from NC or Alaska

They arrested me, i had to bail out, took my license for 120 days had to go to court to get it back and I had to get SR22 insurance for a year when i got nailed doing 147MPH in a 55....
I havent had a ticket or accident in the 15 years since.

Wow 147mph that is Rapid

Rapid - I was afraid to over 55 in Alaska with all the animals running across the road. I wonder what kind of a mess it would be hitting a Moose at 147mph?

This is what a car looks like after hitting a deer/moose..
