It happens before you fully register what’s occurring. Your front tires drift onto gravel, or you clip a curb coming around a bend, or you end up in a shallow ditch on a stretch of highway you’ve driven a hundred times without incident. The heart rate spikes. The car stops. And then — sometimes — … Read more
Nobody gets this ticket and thinks they are being dangerous. That’s honestly the strangest part about negligent driving citations. The people receiving them are usually commuters, parents, delivery drivers — regular people who made a small judgment call at exactly the wrong moment. No drag racing, no road rage. Just an ordinary lapse that an … Read more
Most drivers think about traffic laws in terms of going too fast. Speed limits, radar guns, that familiar sinking feeling when you realize you’ve been clocked.
