QUOTE KEWASKUM, Wis. - Police Chief Richard Knoebel says he wasn’t about to take the easy way out when he accidentally drove past a stopped school bus with its emergency lights flashing.
For violating traffic laws, Knoebel wrote himself a ticket for $235, docked himself four points on his driving record and paid the fine the next day. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

that is admirable
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I think this guy is an idiot. Everyone makes mistakes every once in a while- not seeing a stop sign, not realizing its a school zone, etc. While, I think he needs to pay attention to the road, I dont think he should write himself a damn ticket. I bet this cop never lets anyone by with just a warning.

I didnt read the article. All I read was that he ran the little stop sign that the bus throws out.... which if you arent staring at the damn thing could happen very easily. |

a bus stopped with its lights flashing means its pulled over to let kids out. thusly passing it is side swiping the bus which is illegal

If thats the case, maybe he had his eyes in other places....like I dont know ...scanning the back of the bus for kids to make sure he wouldnt hit anyone. Either way, I think this was just him trying to get attention. |

I'm pretty sure "side-swiping" is literally scraping the side of another car with your own in a quick manner, like a cat swipes its claws at shit.

honest only if it wasn't done for publicity reasons. i am a little hesitant to trust that kind of fanaticism or maybe it was done to avoid publicity. if there was a stopped bus with kids getting on/off, there were probably parents watching. i bet he did it because he thought some crazy soccer mom was going to report him, which happens more often than you would think. |
