A friend used to have an old VW polo, and the horn switch broke. So he fitted a toggle switch into the steering wheel to get through an MOT - you could just turn the horn on and keep driving

You never know when something is or isn't a gun. I've come across everything from cell phone guns to belt buckle guns. This example is no different. Be diligent on the streets and in your pat downs for weapons.

That foldable .22, much like a back-up revolver, is intended for that SHTF/close range moment where 5 shots is better than no shots.

Well yeah. We just all know a .22 from a distance of further than 5ft might need a few more shots in succession lol

You know. The way you phrased that last sentence makes it sound like there might be firearms you would be okay with being shot with.

22 magnum has a little bit more punch. Course that's a short barrel

Years ago one of our officers didn't recognize a zip gun. He got about 3 months off work for that hole in his leg

Heard that on the news today. Don't think -5 miles is going to change much.

What do you think, Sedan Clan?

Not at all at those speeds. Speeders didn't follow the 25 MPH prima facie limit anyway. They surely won't follow the new 20 MPH revision.

bayarea328xit · 03-07-2022, 06:13 PM

Driving down a 2+ lane highway marked with a 65 MPH speed limit and no traffic present (all lanes are clear), is there a speed below which you will ticket the driver?

I find it odd that some people drive along at 50 MPH in the right lane - they are probably just afraid or not confident in their driving ability.

Yes, you can be cited for driving too slowly (…using the catch-all violation 22350 CVC). The officer would just need to articulate why driving under the prima facie limit is causing a hazard. A person driving slowly while no other cars are on the road or in really light traffic wouldn't present a hazard.

That's what the speed limit is in front of our schools during school hours here.

Had a co-worker pulled over on Imperial Hwy by the airport for driving his 'vette too slowly! He was a sight to see putting on his driving gloves very carefully and then pretty much coasting down the road.
