Ok both of you need to calm down alot, Delta and Shawn.

Christ has a point. Its the side that the law takes. Whichever party is breaking the law automatically loses. If you are speeding and I turn out too soon for you to avoid me, its your fault. People abuse this idea. I've seen it happen. A friend of mine got hit by someone who was speeding when she turned out. Otherwise she would have had time to get to speed. She didn't. Thank God I was there and ratted the guy out on speeding(his skid marks were pretty damning evidence) otherwise I don't think the cop would have checked.

However I have another friend who goes unnamed who intentionally pulled out in front of a speeder just outside the normal range, to get his car repaired. Stupid I know, but he did it. Officer came ticketed the other guy insurance fixed his car.

If the people around you are breaking the law whatever happens as a result is there fault.

You can't cheat an honest man and if you don't do anything wrong you can't get in trouble.

Just because other people are driving aggressively doesn't mean you won't get a ticket and does mean you have a 50-50 shot of being responsible for any accidents. Otherwise you have a 0% chance for a ticket or higher insurance premiums.

And yes if everyone is breaking the speed limit I call and report the first one that passes me and then I inform them of every subsequent driver. After seeing 3-4 people pulled over in a few miles they stop it.
