Re: Hawaii Driving Pet Peeves
You're kidding me right? You tell me I'm the one trying to enforce laws and then you fire off that post?
Sounds as if you're the one trying to enforce traffic laws by virtue of your post. If someone attempted to do as you suggested you would, I would be on the phone calling the police (with my hands free set up of course).
And excuse me but this is Hawaii Threads and your post is described as "Hawaii Driving Pet Peeves" so it is implied that we're not talking statuates in California but here in Hawaii. I'm sorry but if the posted speed limit is the speed I'm going, take me to court. I can't be cited for driving the speed limit. There is a fundamental assumption here that driving the speed limit is the law and I'm within the law while speeders who feel it's too slow is in fact breaking them and punishable in any traffic court. A police officer tagging me instead of going after speeders is not upholding his duty to protect law abiding citizens like myself and can be held accountable for his indescretion.
I'm sorry but posted speed limits are just that POSTED and speed LIMITS. Drive over it and you are subject to speeding laws IN ANY STATE. Drive within it and no traffic court can hold you guilty of breaking any law. I'll take it to the Supreme court because it's clearly black and white here.
And you say you were in Law Enforcement? If you conducted yourself in that manner in uniform, you'd be out of that career in a heartbeat unless it wasn't with any county police.
And please...I've been driving for over 30-years in traffic not within the confines of this country. I've also raced professionally in strip, circle and slalom. I know how to drive both defensively and accurately. You don't do stunts like you've described on public roadways, save that for the exhibition driving circuits.
