That's only because a few of us are posting as him now. I think the real Randy probably left. “While your grammar, spelling and general polish have improved, your ignorance, lack of intelligence and mean-spiritedness still shine through.”

And yes, 5 million sounds like millions. Oh wait, we don't like real numbers on this site. You can pretend I said $5 if it would make you feel better.

There are 6 schools within 1/2 mile radius of the first intersection listed. This is also a residential area as shown with google maps. Have you or anyone else here did any type of investigation of the facts? I forgot. The facts are to be ignored and suppressed on this site. Where is the heck is this fact in the ABC report? As I said they did not do any investigation. Tom I just went online and checked the maps. There are 6 schools within 1/2 mile radius of the first intersection listed.

There are people in these areas that have complained that people are driving way too fast around their kids in and around school zones and have asked for help in slowing down these drivers. If you were in charge of the local government you would tell them to go jump in the lake because we should not be giving tickets for 12 mph over the limit in these areas but should allow 20 or 30 mph over the limit because their kids just do not matter. They would only be a small blip in the statistics if something happened to them. If the school zone is 25 mph and you can not slow down to 36 mph you are the one with a problem.

The fumes will ignite as batteries give off toxic vapor. You don't want to inhale it either or it'll perm clean your sinuses. Best thing to do is have one of those portable / cig lighter jump starters. Don't rely on some carjack shy person to hopefully stop and help you.

Your feelings of inadequacy and insecurity couldn't be more obvious. While your grammar, spelling and general polish have improved, your ignorance, lack of intelligence and mean-spiritedness still shine through. Even in the face of clear defeat, such as the Utah speeding article, you still cling to your fantasies. If I didn't have other sources of entertainment I'd be thrilled to spend more time here mocking you. See you in another few months. "Yakkity-Yak, don't talk back!" :) So, Randy, you still have no other life than to come on this forum and try to be a bully because you can’t be a bully in real life because no one would pay any attention to you.

Redflex called me this morning (I sold my bike and sent them my donation through Western Union) and gave me an update on their next generation of cameras that can also catch drunks by analyzing the way they drive. As usual, those drunks will get tickets via first class mail. See, Redflex not only makes people slow down but also gets them sober. Randy you are absolutely right.
