Ugh! I'm taking online Traffic school right now...Painful!
 

This is a new site from the state. you can't copy and paste anything like I thought you could.

Now I have 5 sessions, one hour each to go through before tomorrow.

This sooooo sucks!
:disgust

Did you know that over 7 million people are injured in car crashes every year and 40,000 people are killed?

more stats to come as I go through this. heh. I am sharing the pain

did you lose your license ? Or just dont have any ?

Ha, i thought you were talking about website traffic... 1 track mind...

I was thinking the same :2 cents:

LMAO.

I wish it was that kind of traffic school. haha.

this one is cuz I got a speeding ticket in Illinois and don't want a point on my record.

I am now learning about BAC... anyone know what that is ;)

BAC is how much alcohol is in your blood.

I have to go to traffic court tomorrow for allegedly running a red light. I still haven't decided on a defence tactic yet.

At least you don't have to sit through an 8 hour class at the Holiday Inn like I did last Saturday.

In Massachusetts traffic school is for people who have excessive amounts of violations. There is no way to avoid a speeding ticket other than to take it to court.

Speeding tickets are one of the biggest consumer scams. On any given day you can be travelling over the speed limit with a cop pacing traffic at limit +10. However, on the next day when you don't have that same cop escorting you, he can pick you out of a moving pack of cars and issue a citation for speeding.

They let you speed 99% of the time so that you're conditioned to speed and when they need revenue they can fine people for offenses they usually let slide. You can go to court and pay your fees and often get the charge reduced or eliminated through a plea bargain or driving school.

Or just do not speed ever.

What percentage of sensory do your eyes account for when driving?

70, 80 or 90 % ?

cel phone usage in cars account for 20-30% of crashes. that's nice.

my pain is your pain LOL

That would be 70%

nope.. it's 90% heh.

and...

"don't let other drivers behaviors control you." that is what they are saying. hmmmmmkay. this test obviously doesn't drive in LA. :upsidedow

what is #1 unsafe driving choice?

No seatbelt?

nope, speeding.

how about this one...

how many more times are you likely to die in a crash going 50mph vs. 70mph?

1x more likely
2x
3x
4x
5x
??

where are there more collisions? on freeway or at intersections?

I'd probably go with intersections. People get screwed up when they have to stop and go.

you are correct and rural intersections worse than city intersections.

I am now only on session 4 of 5. I am numb. painful.

What is number 3 cause of collisions??

wooo hooo, i have one more session and the test to go. only 3 hours so far
