It really baffles me how you manage to conclude that someone is over compensating. If you really see that as the only explantion, i not sure how you manage to surfive in the real worls.

You're never a former lawyer. Well there's some admin bullshit you need to deal with every year in Feb. If you can't manage to do that, I guess they dump you in one of the categories they have for non-practicing attorneys
I just kinda got the vibe your "defense" of you clearly negligent law-breaking behavior sounds like what defense lawyers for their usually shady clients. ;)

I mean sure, if no one's watching, you can get away with your "immersive experience".

But I have a personal story, well, more like my mom's She was driving down a wooded one lane road in the county, with a car following behind her. She was driving the limit or under it, and the guy behind got impatient and decided to precisely go vroom and cross the double yellow to pass. Too bad for him, a cop was actually right behind him and caught him.

I am an amateur non-professional, true. That's still more competence than 95% of the populace. ;)

Let me put it this way. I'm not sure that could live with the grief from having been in any way responsible for any sort of permanent injury, forget about death.

Now this probably sounds self contradictory and you know, I can't really be sure how closely my perceptions accord with reality. But life is all about judgment calls. The reason folks fuck up is because they've never been taught what constitutes "good judgment."

As my friend Jerry would say, wisdom comes from good judgment, and good judgment comes from bad judgment.

I agree however anything in a school-zone when kids are getting picked up (private or public school) is always going to get a cops full attention deserved or not ... this is just common sense.

School zones are pretty much "zero tolerance" zones for any moving violation. (as it should be!)


The bigger problem I see here is that the quote indicates the line is backed up to the main road. Now it's a safety issue for everyone, including people who are not on the road to wait in line.

The town should be resolving this instead of penalizing people for leaving the line, which I assuming this car is still on the main road.
