Well, that may be true but the stats don't say how many of the people think I am a jerk also think that I shouldn't pay the fine, and I would guess that it would be most of them!

Thats a joke by the way.

PS Only 30% of people think I'm a jerk, thats good news too, again another joke!

I suspect that if there was an option for being a jerk and paying the fine, it would make even less pleasant viewing.

The speeding parallel thats come up a couple of times is really not valid. Sure, we all speed, but if we are caught we pay the ticket. Thems the rules.

What if rather than speeding by the emergency vehicles (not a law in Ontario AFAIK) someone had been hit by your car and killed? Is it still OK then to skip the court appearance?

Interesting change of username there. Last time i checked the use of multiple user names here was a bit of a no no. Wonder what the mods would find if they dig into IP addresses etc?

Ok, looks like my wind up has been caught, I'll stop winding you all up now and leave you all alone.

Thanks for the entertainment though.

I see you think your alter ego is a jerk though. Nothing like a bit of self loathing in the morning I guess. At least you stood up for yourself about the ban.

Ha Ha, that really did make me chuckle.

There really is a fine that I'm not going to pay though, but I think we can stop all this banter now.

Thanks for all your responses

Awww, banned.

Pity, as I'd just raised exactly $650 selling "I Speed Up For Fire Trucks" t-shirts on ebay. Nevermind.
