Angry New Law In Massachusetts!!!

So i got f'd in the a... theres a new law in madd where ANYONE under 18 that gets a ticket (almost everything except fix-it tickets). gets a mandatory 3 month suspension, have to take road rage classes, have to take all driving lessons over, have to take permit test, have to take road test, and PAY A MINIMUM of 500.00 reinstatement fee . this is the most outrageously over dramatic punishment i have ever seen. EVER! i was only doing 10 over the limit and the ******* cop showed up to the hearing and well it didn't get dropped... that guy is a ******* *******! im so pissed off right now i cant even think straight.

Should've hired a lawyer.

Kids showing up with the parents aren't taken nearly .01% as seriously as a person who knows the laws inside and out..


Ask me how I know.

Wow i'm glad i don't live there. Really though the laws in this country should be like Germany. You can drink beer at 16 and can't drive till 18. Makes much more scense IMHO.

Seems like overkill. They should change it to all violations except speeding tickets that are less than 15mph over, IMO.

+1... I didnt get my license till 18, and when I got my first speeding ticket, it was an $80 fine, thats all. And I try not to drive in MA, because (present company hopefully excluded) people dont use turn signals/common sense up there. (Not that drivers in RI are any better, plus we got the country's shittiest roads)

I don't use turn signals either, noone's ******* business where I'm going but ME


But, on the other hand I am not one to ever brake quickly, I generally know where I'm going and slow down before makign a turn so the brake lights are on, that's enough warning IMO.

I do however suffer from road rage, people passing on the right, cutting back in and then slowing down, people not going when a light turns green, people cutting me off, all 100% intolerable, which can be met with me either cutting them back off, **** blocking them so they can't merge back in once they've gotten to the right in an attempt to pass, and I will throw a 1/3 full bottle of water out the window, or at least open it and swing the bottle at their car so the wter comes out, but that's usually saved for idiots with the window open. I can't count the # of people under the age of 20 that I have given this to. One idiot was dumb enough to get out of his car at a light once, I got out of the truck.. I don't think the kid saw me until I got out of the truck.. all it took was getting out and looking at him with a "NOW WHAT" and the kid stopped, and got back in his car. I think he was expecting someone a little smaller LOL.
Vulgarity, in large and well audible amounts are also a guarintee.

Of course, being 6'3 and 275 lbs probably had something to do with it.
