Do you think that all of the members of that organization are part of Laser Technologies? Is the information even correct? Do they also make laser measuring devices and other equipment which would be invaluble in reconstruction?

Freeways are controlled access, people just don't pull out. I No, they do stupid shit like make left turns into the median without signalling, go southbound in the northbound lanes, call phone sex outfits on their cellphones, read the morning paper, put on makeup, etc. > > >I'll leave any explaining for court. > > A wise decision. > > Yes, this way the cop will not remember me because all he can remember > is the asshole driver that chewed him out after he tagged me.

Wing it and get caught in a lie just once, and you might as well not show up in court again unless the judge retires. Besides, cites up here have a bunch of space on the back. Cops write all kinds of little notes about the road and traffic conditions, attitude of the person(s,) how many were in the car, results of the records check, etc. I've seen them refreshing their memory before court with their copy of the ticket. Most traffic cases are heard in 90 days or so, which, unless they write a lot of tickets, is close enough for them to remember with only a little prompting.
