Creator, That truck has a minimum bid or "reserve bid" on it, that hasn't been met yet. So, if no one bets up to what the reserve is, the seller, has the right to cancel the auction. I'm sure the reserve is around $75,000++ on that truck.

 

Creator, the only reason Pismo and Glamis is open as it is, is because people care and are putting up resistance in a Organize manner[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Otherwise, the areas would be 100% closed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]People complain about the temporary area closure for the birds. It could be worse, and be closed forever. I wish, they would just back off and let them open all of Pismo again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]But, I know that won't happen[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Here's a "What was he thinking " for you guys.

A fellow deputy was working yesterday, On his way back to the office, after catching a attempted murder suspect, that also, car jacked the victims car, with the children inside. Good bust[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Anyways, he sees a quad riding on a canal bank. Illegal in California, lots of stolen quads and dopers use them for lab dumps. Anyways, he stops him. Finds out, it's dad, on a Kawi 700(?). On the front rack, he has his 18 months old son, strapped to his car seat, strapped to the rack[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] on the back rack, he has his 4 year old son, strapped to his car seat and that's strapped to the rear rack[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] After a stern talking, dad realized how big of a mistake he had made and goes home. Man, I can see alot of bad things out of that situation. Fortunately, dad saw his bad decision making and took the boys home.

Can you say "Here's Your Sign"

 

HEY Now at least he had them in their car seats. and if he wasnt drivin like a maniac whats wrong with thakin the kiddies out for a cruise?

 

OMG...you have got to be kidding!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I mean come on, how can anyone be that stupid?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

Hey Cowboy, here's a news clip I saw this morning and immediately thought of you.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


"PITTSBURGH - The state Supreme Court ruled that Pennsylvania's drunken driving law can't be enforced against people on horseback, a decision that inspired the dissenting justice to wax poetic."

 

nope. There is a reserve price. The BUY IT NOW Is 55k. So if it does sell it will be over that price.

 

Its only $55,000

 

rescuediver, I was wondering what your opinion might be on this.

My wife got a speeding ticket a few days ago in Palm Springs...in my new PSD.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] OK, now that's simple enough but there is more to it. This is her 2nd speeding ticket this year (insert little red mad face here again), the 1st she went to traffic school for. Now as I understand it she can go to traffic school again for this ticket and it will keep the point off her driving record but the ticket itself will still show because it has been less than 18-months since her last traffic school attendance...am I correct on this? She is an insurance agent so she needs to take a little better care of her driving record...now might be a good time for her to start. Here is where it gets interesting...she openly admits that she flat out deserved the ticket she got a few months ago but she feels like this one was just wrong. She was pretty much going with the flow of traffic (all were speeding as is common in that area) and she says a car was coming up on her fast from behind until it reached her and began tailgating.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] At about the same time the car came up on her bumper she saw a woman officer on a motorcycle pointing the ole radar gun at her. Woman motorcycle officer...I just can't seem to picture that one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] OK, I won't be sexist so let me finish my story. My wife looked down at her speed (or rather my) speedo and realized she was doing 67 in a 55...oops.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] The officer approached my truck looking it over and asked my wife if it was a 04' to which she said it is. LOL, yea I know she wants one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Anyway, the officer said she clocked her doing 74...OUCH![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Wifey says "not to be disrespectful, but I honestly do not believe I was going that fast because I took a glance at my speedo when I saw you. Is it possible that you may have clocked the guy that came up me so fast?" She didn't answer the question directly but responded with a phrase that had the term "you were still speeding" in it. She wrote her up for 74.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] My wife wants to fight it because she believes it was unfair and I happen to agree in that I don't believe she was doing 74 because she says so...what can I say, I trust her. The problem is that if she fights it and loses then she cannot go to traffic school and therefore must endure the point on her record, right? So I'm thinking she should just pay the fine for the guy in the car, assuming I'm correct about the radar issue, and do the traffic school. It doesn't seem to me that there is much motivation for a person to fight a ticket they feel is unfair if it voids their right to attend traffic school...I don't get it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Oh and, she did not actually see the readout on the radar as she didn't ask to and it wasn't offered.

OK, long grammatically incorrect post so sorry about that. I would be interested to hear your opinion and any others that care to comment.

Thanks!

 

I've heard of the following as one way to beat out a ticket. I was told this by someone and it seams possible. Using some dirty, yet legal tricks.

1.) Shortly before your court date, go to the officers station and ask for their notes of the day or something like that. I'm guessing they have all the information written down in it that they need for court or whatever. The reason for this is more dept. are too busy to get them to you at that time and you'll have to wait.

2.) Ask for a continuance on your court day IF the officer shows up. You are still waiting on discovery for the Notes of the Day

Supposedly the odds of the officer not showing the second day are much higher (unless they other tickets pending on that day as well.)

Yeah, I know its crappy. Yeah, it takes up YOUR time. But if you're trying to beat it, that's one way.

Now, I would think that when an officer writes the ticket they are swearing under oath that the information they put down is true and correct. I don't know how pinpoint a radar is and if another vehicle quickly approaching them from the rear would throw off the signal enough. I had a friend that got off lucky and was written up from 64 in a 55 (pulling a trailer) while she was flying at about 80. But it shows on her license as if she was in a big rig according to her insurance company. I'm assuming they give you 1.5x the point total if you are pulling a trailer which I believe happens with Commercial licensed drivers.
