The lone time I was pulled for speeding, the cop claimed to have clocked me from around a bend, shielded by thick trees.

I win. My cop sent a curved radar beam to bust me.

Yeah, it was Highway Patrol. Probably just gonna pay a lawyer to handle it.

A lawyer is always good. Couple of years ago I hit a bicyclist who was on a road he shouldn't have been. It was a two lane road with heavy commercial traffic with a speed limit was 65. But I was cited for reckless driving, pled down to defective vehicle.

how do you run down a cyclist

Strong wind blew him into me. State patrol said they only gave me the ticket to make sure my insurance picks up his medical bills. Which they did.

"...a bicyclist who was on a road he shouldn't have been."

The only roads bicycles are not permitted on are interstates. Otherwise, they have to abide by the same rules as any other vehicle on the road.

Hahaha, you're a funny guy. They're permitted on parts of the interstate in Colorado. I'll grab a picture of the sign that tells bicyclists keep far right.

But there is such a thing as common sense. And this guy wasn't using it. It's a major highway for oil field traffic.

it's just grade school math.  remember the 'train leaving East Puckafug at 80mph and a train leaving West Ballslack at 45mph...'?  Same thing.  Easy to connect the radar/laser to cop's speedo, and then run it through an algorithm to determine the speed of the oncoming vehicle.  Even back woods cops in IN (I have a good friend who is a deputy there) have both forward and backward firing radar.  I would assume every cop car has them.

probably had a really big faucet and comb that he rubbed on his pants to bend it.

Up here in Reidsville I once got pulled over as a passenger. We were going 3 under the speed limit and got told we were going 19 over. Gotta love the police. 

 

Dude, you gotta put together all your threads and posts and realize the common denominator... it's fugging Reidsville! GTFO! Now!

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
