Quoth South Texan View PostWe thought the same thing.
It sounded fishy to us as well, but that was his story.
Quoth Shyla View PostHow do you get a jury trial for a summary offense? I don't think that's possible. I'm sure it's not in my state. Traffic court doesn't have juries.

Pah! The Laws of Physics cannae be reasoned with, not even when ye be late. Observe.
-I need a tow truck, my car slid off the road and into the ditch.
-Okay, we'll be there in 15 minutes
-That's not fast enough!
-Then call someone else, that's how long it takes to drive 3 miles in city traffic on a Friday from here to there.
...
....
-Okay, fine, send him.
True Story
Irony- by arguing with us you've already made us later than we would have been.

Quoth RealUnimportant View PostI've lost track of how often I get people come up to ask the fastest train for one of the major airports, often with just an hour until their flight. Even assuming they're here just before a train is scheduled, it's still at least a 45 minute trip...

Quoth MoonCat View PostAren't you still supposed to get to the airport at least two hours before your flight leaves?
If you're cutting it so close that you'll miss the plane unless the driver goes way over the speed limit, you can forget making that flight. TSA will hold you up anyway.

The family couldn't get their act together to leave for the airport in plenty of time to catch their flight?
Their problem. Not the taxi driver's. He should not have made it his problem.

The cab driver got a ticket. The officer clocked him at 95 in a 60 on the freeway.
He asked to speak with a prosecutor.
His defense: he had a fare that was late for a flight, and was going to give him a huge tip if he got that family from the downtown hotel to the airport quickly. When the officer pulled him over, it took too long for the officer to run his license and issue the ticket, so the family missed the flight. They did not tip him at all.
He reasoned it was only fair that the ticket be dismissed because of that - after all, it was the "police's fault" he did not make it on time and get the money.
The prosecutor asked if the guy seriously thought it was OK for anyone to break the law just because someone was paying him to do it. He did not like that response, and demanded a jury trial.
Bet he gets the max from the jury with that defense.Tags: None
