now now ... you need to be shoin sum positive comfort yo. wonder if there is a wiki article on this. and since you ARE an LEO, do y'all get classes in "positive comfort" ?

We do occasionally have "Hug a Thug" days... Just because they say we need to have community sensitivity. :dw::lol1:

. The difference is that I am not the one bitching about not getting the "positive comfort" for being distracted and stupid. I have told the story before on here look it up if you want.

I won't write them if they actually hit the deer. Mostly because we get a lot of deer committing suicide on the interstate by running into traffic. Now if they swerve and don't hit it and hit a tree instead....well then I have no proof there was actually a deer in the road. You get a ticket.

Woah woah woah wait a second...

So I could be doing the speed limit (lets say 60 mph to make the math easy) and a deer could dart across the road and if I swerve to avoid it and hit a tree I get a ticket? What ticket would I get? What would the elements be to said charge and how on Earth could anyone prove them?

60 mph = 90ft per second. Lets say there is 30 feet between the road's edge and the tree line. A deer can run at 20 mph = 30 feet per second. it would take a deer 1 second to cover the distance from the trees to the road. in that time I would have traveled 3 times the distance and be carrying wayyy more momentum (making it harder to turn or stop) so how is it my fault if I hit a deer?

I once hit a hispanic trash truck driver when he stepped out in front of me. He thought he was taking me to the bank, until the cop wrote him a ticket, and let me go.

Well in VA, you could be written under 46.2-853 - Failure to Maintain PROPER Control of a Motor Vehicle. And in VA, it is a Reckless Driving charge, Class 1 Misdemeanor too.

But let's look at it this way....if you swerve to miss and animal and wreck, wouldn't it be better to wreck INTO the animal so when the LEO shows up you have PROOF that there was a animal there? You swerve, hit a tree to avoid hitting an animal, animal leaves because he's a thug and knows he caused you to wreck. I can't find the animal and charge him with being a pedestrian in the roadway or jaywalking. So I roll up to your crash, see skidmarks from (a) swerve (b) braking (c) or both, I can esaily PROVE by that alone that you Failed to Maintain Proper Control.

AND I never said it was your fault for hitting the deer, nor that I'd write you if you hit the deer. I said if you SWERVE to miss the deer and wreck.

Try Hispanic driver of a TRASH truck. :dw:


And I think he was just trying to really the full feel of the story. Not instigating anything.

Uh... What?... WRITING COMPREHENSION for the both of you! :beer:

And even if he meant hispanic driver of a trash truck, not instigating anything either, but "hispanic" is still completely irrelevant.

Should he have used person of half color instead?

So I'm in a single car accident, no matter how that accident might of happened, and I get a ticket ( which basically is just free money for the state.) Yup sounds fair to me.

really?? this is all you take away from this thread? you sound like a guy that would cry about not getting any positive comfort too. You may or may not get a ticket, it depends on the circumstances. I have been in two single car accidents in VA. one I got a ticket for the other I didn't.

Well here
