Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
All us guys in trucks learned our lesson though.If you lost your card somewhere along the way,you had to pay the maximum amount of the toll.We all ran the total length anyway,so we would just say the card blew out the window.Paid the same amount as if we still had the card.That little idea was given to us by a tolltaker.

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
Easy answer:
Who cares how long it takes or what the average speed is, you're driving a Model A...enjoy the ride. I was never good a math anyway.

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
Unless it's in a school zone, I almost think a speeding ticket in a Model A would be hard to achieve - even if I tried.

When I was driving through Hannibal Missouri a couple years ago I had just topped a hill in town and there was a traffic light half a block on the downhill side, and I got flashed by the camera when the light turned red while I was in the intersection. Thought for sure I'd get a ticket in the mail. but it never happened. |

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
In OZ, the light has to be red before you pass into the intersection.
I once saw the same thing as I just got into an intersection on the orange and I saw a flash of the camera in my mirror, then noticed a car right behind me. He obviously was the money donor to the law, not me. |

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
A couple of years ago I got my first ticket in over 40 years. Figured I just pay it because of all the violations I had gotten away with over the 40 year span. I was advised that I could take a course and avoid the points on my license. I told the Officer at my age (71)a couple of points won't matter.
It is frustrating though. |

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
New York was timing distances entrance to exit and giving speeding tickets in 1967 and 1969 when I was at Ft. Monmouth, NJ.
It was a well known scam to "lose the ticket" if trip was long enough. NJ Turnpike was a quarter at every toll plaza. The scam on NJ Turnpike was to "Pretend" to throw quarter in basket then stop and get out to "look" for the quarter ... "winky winky" ... the toll keeper would wave you through when cars stacked up behind. If you tried it at next toll plaza they had radioed ahead and knew you were coming!

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
$341 and 2 demerit points, Ouch! I feel your pain. I hope you win the fight. Speaking of the Law of Averages, I learnt a long time ago that the Law of Averages does not work. Here is how you can prove it for yourself. Get two buckets, fill one with freezing water and ice and fill the other with boiling water. Now put one of your feet in freezing bucket and the other foot in the boiling water. On the average you should be very comfortable. See I told you the law of averages doesn't work.

I was certainly trying hard to get no tickets, because I know the hassle of it all being offshore when you get home and get the tickets. When I was in Miami, I came across a toll booth after dark, and it wanted 2 quarters, I was fumbling for a bit when a blast of a horn and headlights on hi beam came from behind. I was not going to go thru that toll without paying, so I continued to try and find coin. Several more blasts from behind came, with the dude inching up closer to my back. I found the coins and threw them in, then gave the guy behind a finger . I later read that Miami is the murder capital of the USA ... |

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
The Pa Turnpike was the first to use it in the 1940s, but I don't think it's in use anymore. In NJ, they shortened the cycle of the yellow to get to red faster and then if you're in the intersection, then the camera gets you.But BUT thats not all! It turns out the courts are paying a bounty to the manufactures for each case the court wins! Justice at it's finest!

Re: Quiz for a 60 MPH all day long car
No, It's Chicago! It used to be Miami because the Fla. DVM , in it's wisdom, Coded the License numbers so that rental cars could be identified by police. Trouble was the wrong ones got ahold of the codes and could ID out of towners, hence unarmed. Once they figured out what was going on, and with the large number of concealed carry permits issued, it ceased to be problem.
