Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to obey the posted speed limit than trying to negotiate your case. Whatever time you may have saved by going over the speed limit will be more than lost by going to court.

Also, if you save 15 seconds a day that's multiplied by 365 days a year. Now I know you don't work every day but it's just an example of the multiplier effect. It's significant over time, and you don't get pulled over and face court battles every year (or at least so far, I've been able to avoid annual court battles).
When CA and other States took away some due process for infraction traffic court cases it seems they wanted to keep as much resemblance of due process as possible and give you things like (no potential jail time and no DA showing up against you) in exchange for the negotiation. However, in recent decades, it seems they want to take away due process and give the people NOTHING in exchange. Well.... maybe not nothing.... they reduce the "video camera" tickets to typically pointless violations that cost you a fraction of what a real citation would. However, if a points involved, then it's close to nothing as the fine doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

Let’s keep it simple. I’m sure you, like everyone else, wastes more than 15 seconds a day doing normal daily activities. No one works to a time-clock that rigorous.

In Ohio the school speed limit is 20 mph when school zone lights are flashing.
Quite a few times I've seen police radar set up along road going by the schools.
Just try to imagine how hard that must be for @andres3.

WA has the flashing 20 school zone limit in many places too - I think my mom got nabbed once but talked her way out of it because of course. I don't risk it in a flashing zone - there are also some local parks with a 20 zone, but I am not sure how much they are enforced (as so much else is not post-covid).

It is also the home to the founding chapter of Beta Theta Pi. It is a beautiful campus.
It is indeed. Many, many fond memories there. And, going back for alumni get togethers I'm reminded of it all the time. I enjoy just going to Oxford. The drive is beautiful also.
Our son lives off western near 85. I avoid western at all costs for that reason.

They probably have it but you have to pay for it even though you bought the system. Sounds fair to me. If you don’t use it, put tape over the lens. You’ll probably get a “see dealer” message. Just for fun, try that.

I’ve been doing my own braking for years with no problems. Also avoiding collisions and I know how to turn on my wipers too.
I don’t need nannies to help me drive. I learned how to do that many years ago. I’ve heard stories where folks have hit someone telling their insurance company, “my car is supposed to make sure I don’t have any accidents, is this going to make my rate go up”?
And we share the road with these nitwits. No wonder our insurance rates are what they are.

There's a signal light 1/4 mile to the left and 1/4 mile to the right, but kids cross at this intersection because it leads straight to the school and who wants to add 1/2 miles to their walk (though that's what my recommendation orders would be to kids trying to cross). There's stop signs only on 2 sides of the 4-way intersection. There is yellow warning "pedestrian crossing" and "intersection "+" signs that were ignored obviously. People said the sun can be in your eyes driving west in the morning (too fast for conditions then; as reduced vision from sunlight is a condition). I don't see how this driver shouldn't be locked up for a very long time short of these kids running out at the last second w/o looking.
I don't think adding stop signs is the answer. A pedestrian bridge is the right solution. Flashing lights from active pedestrian foot traffic is another.
We let my daughter start walking herself to and from school this year, but only because we are on the same street as the school 2 blocks away. As a parent I don't think I would have let her cross a 4-lane arterial alone yet only being in 6th grade. Still... unfortunate and so extremely tragic hitting so close to home.

This is recall week for me. I just got the Mustang back from a backup camera recall. It was fine and all they did was wrap some more tape around the wires to prevent chafeing. I also got the can of fix a flat replaced as you’re supposed to do every five years. Amazing that last time I did that it cost $65. This time it was about $100. Inflation.
While there I noticed that the shop labor rate was $245/hr. WOW!

As this is likely to be our last snow-free day in Fairbanks this year, I thought I would share the lovely light on the Alaska Range before sunset…
This is the view from my office window. 😎
@xwesx - WOW! Absolutely stunning!
@andres3 - I’m so sorry to hear this devastating news. That poor family!

We have been having some great sunsets here in the Northeast. Here is one from last night heading down I95 about 3 miles from center city Philly which what you see to the left of the sun.

Looks like you had a great time. We did an Alaskan cruise in August. We loved it. I finally made it to Sitka.

Went over there to take a look. NICE REVIEW.
Gorgeous sunset photo @tjc78. I was able to take a few dusk photos walking by the beach before my son’s hockey game this past Saturday night.

Fun fact, the steamboats in NOLA that offer two hour brunch/lunch/dinner cruises offer "drink packages" for the two hour cruise, which is the most NOLA thing ever. I think the package includes three drinks.

We left the port of Miami in a bit of foul weather, but it was short lived. Our eastern Caribbean cruise turned to western due to weather activity in the scheduled region. So, instead of San Juan, PR and St. Maarten, we did Cozumel/Tulum. Excellent guide on the Tulum tour, full of Mayan knowledge and pride. I joked that the ruins looked a lot like my condo after a visit/stay from my son.
I started a trend on board, as I intended to bankrupt the ship of soft-serve ice cream, after a couple of basic cones I decided to up the ante. Went to a buffet, grabbed a 16 or 20 oz hard plastic cup and spoon and proceeded to fill it with the frozen gold. People noticed and, after being dubbed a genius, imitated.
When we went to Coco Cay, there was a "guard" at the ice cream machine who was handing out (too small) cones. I wonder if that was a new policy?
