2 new ways to beat a traffic ticket (?)

New ways to beat a ticket:

A 60 year old Rhode Island man asked a judge to dismiss a traffic ticket received when he was 23. The judge granted the request. The man paid $100.

One gentleman claims he got a traffic citation taken care of in Chicago by slipping the court janitor $20. Obviously a while ago. While I'm not recommeding the method, it does go to show it's who you know.

Cadets in an Indiana training class were warned people who exit cars at traffic stops are trying to hide something. So don't get the officer excited--stay in the car.

You've heard the warnings. Don't drive through high water--you don't know how deep it is. In Athens County, GA, there's another reason: they'll write you a traffic ticket.

Weird Laws?

It's illegal for a woman to drive in a housecoat in California, one web site says. But a computer search of California's Vehicle Code shows no mention of housecoat. Bad info.

The same site says you'll get a traffic ticket if you shoot an animal (except a whale) from a moving vehicle in California. The Vehicle Code doesn't mention whales. The only shooting it prohibits is taking potshots at traffic signals and the like.

Where do they get this stuff?

Third time's the charm. This site says you have to honk when passing a car in Rhode Island either on the left or the right. Actually, that one's partially true. Incredibly Title 31, section 15-4-(1) of the Rhode Island statutes spells it out--but only when passing on the left.
