If you think beef is good for dinner

Here's a quick thought for the squidly crowd, or old guys that wanna play squid: In many (most?) states driving in excess of 30 mph over the posted speed limit is "driving to endanger". Driving 85 mph over is surely some sort of major in every state in the union. The significance here is that you WILL get your license pulled on the first infraction should you get caught.
So, how does one maintain their livelyhood these days, i.e. earn a living, pay the bills, take care of the chil'in' (gotta think of the little chi'in') etc. without a drivers license?

Dude, you need to get out a bit more. Don't know what kind of socialism you are living in back east, but what you describe just ain't the case for a good portion of the west.

Skooter Dude, I'm not following you, which part don't you believe? And which part is socialist (I'm guessing you meant fascist)?

The courts taking your license or not being able to make a living without one?

I can tell you, I know they will take it. I know.

And I can tell you it is hard as hell to stay employed without one unless you happen to live in a metro area with public transportation.

[Edit] - OK, let's see:

From YOUR own Arizona state motor vehicle code:

Clicky

28-693. Reckless driving; classification; license; surrender

A. A person who drives a vehicle in reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.

B. A person convicted of reckless driving is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor.

C. In addition, the judge may require the surrender to a police officer of any driver license of the convicted person, shall report the conviction to the department and may order the driving privileges of the person to be suspended for a period of not more than ninety days. On receipt of the abstract of conviction and order, the department shall suspend the driving privilege of the person for the period of time ordered by the judge.

Oh, by the way, you only have to exceed 100mph in California to get the license pulled.

No. Apparently you don't know. The bar is set pretty high to get to the point where your license will be taken from one single driving infraction.

Good for you. You quoted the reckless driving statute. You know what that means? Diddly. By the way, you forgot the 'Aggressive' driving statute, which comes in just under reckless driving and also has some pretty stiff penalties. So mister smarty-pants, how often does somebody in Arizona get nailed with reckless driving solely for driving fast? Do you have any facts, personal knowledge, or even the slightest clue? Well, I do. And I can tell you that it would be EXTREMELY rare for somebody to be charged with reckless driving in Arizona based solely on the speed. (Assuming you aren't a total choad doing 160 in 45 zone somewhere within some city limits.)

Now, California is it's own separate highly regulated little fish bowl, hence my use of the words, "good portion of the west". Even so, the statute you linked to says that a violation of 100+mph MAY get your license suspended for 30 days. Oregon would fall under the exception to my rule also. But I do have some experience in places like Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Utah, and while there is always an exception to the rule, getting your license pulled for a single speeding infraction would practically be non-existant in those places.

You FASCIST!!!!

Besides, this argument is moot until one is actually CAUGHT violating a speed limit. :devilsmiley:

Mr. Smarty pants, huh? :glare: You are right, I have no experience being pulled over in AZ. But we were talking about going 150mph (or thereabouts). I would imagine getting bagged at a buck fifty gets you the max fine every time.

You FASCIST!!!!

That would be Mr. Smarty Pants Fascist, to you...

Besides, this argument is moot until one is actually CAUGHT violating a speed limit. :devilsmiley:

I hear you there, Skooter Dude. I'm thinking that out on the open road those coppers in their 4 door sedans could be made a blue blinking spec in the rearview.

s'funny...not too long back, there was an episode of South Park where Stan took a crap in a school urinal. They spelled it "deuce" in the TV Guide description of the episode, and now, here you come back with the same spelling.

I have forever spelled it "dookie". Is "deuce" a West Coast thing for spelling "turd" (which this thread has become BTW)

Well?....................how did it smell?

Speaking of the morning deuce.... I ate too much bambi yesterday an she done rushed outa me mid morning. :blink: Nice eh?

Number 1 and Number 2. 2, in gambling parlance, is referred to as a 'deuce'. Get it now? Number 2 = poop = dookie = deuce. Dookie is more than always used in conjunction with 'stain'. I've never heard the term used alone... Must be a Florida thing.

Is this a great thread or what?! :blink:

PS By the way that was The Who not the Birds

Beat me to it. I'm guessin' he was thinkin' of "8 Miles High" by the Birds. But check MadMike's profile and his age...

He prolly don't remember **** after the Patsy Paige years so it's understandable. :****:

I was thinking he was thinking "turn turn turn" with that "cant we all just get along crap

I will admit to being a sqid, if you admit you want to lick my tentacles

I'm not askin you to admit anything, just pointin out the facts. And by the way I'd be lookin for a meal, not a snack

OOoops. I think you missed that, while the "squid" mispelling was a typo, the "tentacles" was an intentional one?

Mmmmm... calamari.

Isnt calamari an api-tizer??

 

[Kevin Daly]

Mmmmm... calamari.

Caution

calamari (scroll down to #4.)

OMG look at #2 :bad:

is that even possible?

OK I think this one is dead and smellin like a shicago steamer
