Problem is that the cops didn't fucking look at anything to do with the car wreck, moron.
This is why you need to drop 'the past', and stop going on tilt over everything i say, dickhead. I mentioned several times that the police didn't examine the crime scene at all, and were in a hurry to place blame so they could leave. Kolt may actually be able to help me, because i've already been collecting info to do exactly that we is doing right now. If i can disprove her testimony in court (ie. speed we were both travelling), i'll win the case. So, it seems like the only person who wasn't being relevant to the thread was you. Now, get the fuck out of my thread.

Finally, if you think your road laws suck then don't ever go to France. They have two types of roundabout there, one where the cars in the roundabout have priority and another where those entering have priority. If that's not wierd I don't know what is.

And moreover, even if there's a sign posted saying, "cars entering have priority," there's still only a 50% chance that entering cars have priority... :/

I would like to take the liberty of proposing a modification. Don't ever go to France, period. At least not if you're planning to stay close to the city. The roundabouts might not even be your biggest problem. We were trying to get to a hotel in Paris from outside the city and we had just gotten off the beltway that goes around the downtown. Right past the exit ramp was an intersection, and as we waited it went from crowded to utterly hopeless. It didn't matter what color the traffic light was. The whole intersection, and all the cross streets for about 60 yards out each way, were simply a frozen sea of jammed traffic. It was like a parking lot without order. Fortunately we were able to waggle out of the mess to one side and took a long detour. God knows how much longer it was stuck after we left.

You don't say "period" and add modifiers. 😕

*Sigh*

I find it hilarious how you are the only one who cannot let go of the past, especially considering I had a personal conversation with Gerudo which I am sure you know about, referencing the fact that your fight with Goki had absolutely nothing to do with me and I held nothing against you. But for the sake of RATIONAL argument, and since I am a whole hell of a lot more mature than you, I will respond without being a jerk.

Quite simply, cops are assholes. They took what they heard, and ran with it. Last night, my car ran out of gas in the middle of the fucking highway. I pulled over to the shoulder and called my Roadside Assistance, which I get free with my Mini. A highway patrol officer pulled over, seeing my flashers. He told me to get into my car and put it in nuetral, and he would push me to safety, considering I was not in a safe location. I told him that was fine, and told him that I had already informed my Roadside Assistance of my location and that they told me not to leave. He said, and I quote, "You can get in your car and do it right now, or I am going to write you a ticket." Write me a fucking ticket because my car broke down? Fuck him, and all cops who believe that they are above the fucking law. System of checks and balances? Yeah fucking right. The Executive Branch of our government has all of the power, and gets away with whatever the fuck they want.

When people have power, they abuse it. That statement is true all over the world, even in Australia. If I had a guess, I would say that when the cops had to choose between two sexy Aussie chics story and an Aussie male, they went with the girls.

Also, for your information, the class I took was an AP class--Advanced Placement. It was a Sophomore college class. I aced the class both quarters of the Semester, and aced the test, receiving college credit up to my Junior year. Not to mention two AP Calculus classes(Physics is just a ton of math), which coupled with the Physics, place my intelligence far above police officers who go through bullshit training and have a bullshit education. Most police officers ARE police officers because they do not want to get a real education, and it is fast money. These were not CSI actors, Pat. These are traffic cops...come on, man.

On a side note, I also took AP Chemistry, AP Biology II, AP Government, AP US History, AP English IV, and AP Spanish V(which I have forgotten most of). I took every one of those classes, along with many others, all before I dropped out of high school when my brother passed away at the end of my Junior year. Before you ever try to discredit me again, I highly suggest you at least make a passing attempt to get to know me, or my background.

When you get unbanned, feel free to reply.

As for you, Brent, still waiting for your call. Glad to help, man.

I did answer, but I could not hear you. Considering I was at work and both of my bosses were there, I put my phone away thinking you would try again.

I'm going to take abunch of college legal courses, drop out, and then start up my own private practice. The Lawl Offices of Dumb & Worthless, Inc.

If you don't mind my asking, why did you drop out? I don't see the correlation between the death of a family member and dropping out of high school.

Also, your testimony will likely be discredited in court. Most of the value in finishing your education is not to be found in the education itself, for this will vary from person to person, but in the acquisition of credentials. You might be quite intelligent and well read, but being considered as an expert witness requires credentials. Deserving credentials and not having them is the same as just not having them.

They only need to find the equation, proof, and solution once. After that, anyone with half-decent credentials who understands the thing can just present the evidence and say, "hey, here's mathematical proof that the bimbo was lying," even if they didn't orignally come up with it.

Thank you for proving my point that they need someone with credentials.

Right. I have no need to be there. If I can provide Brent with a simple equation, he can take it from there.

My brother commit suicide, and although most people cannot quite understand, it was incredibly hard to continue waking up when life seemed to have lost a lot of meaning.

I can understand that, actually. Probably not to the full extent, but I know how I would feel in that situation.

I too took Spanish V AP and that was last year, and I do not remember jack shit.

I know this has no bearing to the topic but what the hell right?

I just got back from talking to my lawyer, and my insurance company.

Both of them are on my side 100%. My lawyer will attempt to get the traffic fine overturned in the next few days, which he assures me will most likely be in my favour.

My insurance company believe the same, and are willing to contest the damage claim at no cost to me (if i win, which they assure me i will).

Things are looking pretty awesome.

Just a quick update. Looks like my lawyer couldn't overturn the traffic fine. It's probably going to go to trial. I've gotta meet with my lawyer next week, and speak about what the possible outcomes of me pressing charges could be. It doesn't sound good. Looks like i've been screwed over.

On the subject of car crashes, I happened to have been in one last night. I was in my friend's car and we were driving downtown, when he tried to make a turn at the same time a car was coming right at him. It was rather suprising as I was in the back seat just playing my DS when I heard a loud bang and was jerked forward. The other guy's car looked somthing along the line of goKi's car damage wise. But my friend's car isn't looking too bad. The windshield is completely shattered and everything in the front of the hood was pushed all the way back. But no one was hurt which is a good thing, except I think every one was a little sore. Now I know why it's important to wear a seatbelt. If it wern't for the seat belt, I would have flown though the windsheild.

Sorry goKi, didn't mean to steal your thunder, I figured it would be easier to post in an existing thread.

Good luck goKers *kiss* and to you too Archibaldo.

Aches and pains from a car accident are usually worse a few days after the accident. Everyone involved should have gone to the ER to be checked out.

Trust me, Archibaldo, i know how bad it sucks. I'm just really pissed off i'm getting screwed so badly by the law.

Speaking to my lawyer on Thursday, and will know for sure whether i'll be going to court or not. Hopefully the threat of legal action is enough for her to admit that she just didn't look and failed to give way, and pay up.

I hope the lawyer isn't too expensive and he's worth the money you're spending on him/her.

Good luck honey...
<hug>

Geez, the modern world has a great legal system.

I hope everything works out for you. Though I too young to drive, I know the pain of getting screwed over like that.
