    This is my first thread in a long time.

    Well, as some of the F-Chatters saw this morning, I got another ticket on the way to Crystal Cove for making an illegal turn.

    IF YOU ARE GOING TO CRYSTAL COVE, WATCH OUT FOR THOSE DOUBLE-YELLOW LINES ON PCH! I saw people making turns there ALL THE TIME, so I made a turn and got pulled by a NBPD, along with my friend and one other car. She (it was a lady cop) got on her microphone and said, "you, you, and you, pull over!" I never seen one cop pulling over three cars at once!

    She said I was speeding on PCH (said I was doing 70+mph), but I know I wasn't going over the speed-limit (55mph), since I was really watching my speed this time. She didn't cite me for it.

    So guys, watch out for those double yellow-lines!!!

    Jay & Frank, if you have hi-res pics, please email me ([email protected]). Thanks!

    FYI, there's also been motorcycle cops with laser up towards the top of Newport Coast the last few weeks. Be careful!

    Yes, beware if it is the woman motorcycle cop with her hair usually in a braided ponytail. I have friends that are NBPD and they even say she follows the rulebook too closely.

    I'm sorry, telling someone to watch out for making an illegal u-turn over a double yellow or you're going to get a ticket equates to telling a single driver to not drive in the car pool lane

    Well given this comment:

    "I saw people making turns there ALL THE TIME"

    ...it seems there may be quite a few others who aren't aware of the law or are choosing to ignore it at CC. I see no harm in a friendly reminder if they are beginning to enforce things a little tighter in that area - do you? Or is it just because Patrick is the one doing it? :confused:

    I could see giving him grief if he came in here claiming the ticket was unjustified, but he's not... Cut the guy some slack for a change.

    I would do the same regardless.

    And I am sorry, aware of the law? It's a double yellow line. Any 16 year old knows not to cross one.

    If EVERYONE jumped off a cliff, who he too?
    If EVERYONE shop lifted that day, would he too?

    The "Everyone did it so I can too" mentally does not cut.

    Frank,

    Do you know me?










    Didn't think so.


    Mr. attention whore breaks the law, get's a ticket and then warns everyone to watch out when they break the law.

    Whatever. Save YOUR breath

    I never said it did. He's not saying it makes what he did right either. He's simply reminding people not to do it so they don't get caught like he did. Again, no harm in that.

    We all know exceeding the speed limit is wrong too, yet I'm sure most here do it quite often. If I know the police are cracking down on it in a particular area you can bet I'm going to tell my friends about it.

    Honestly, you can't tell me those three cars pulled over on the curb were the first ones to ever make an illegal U-turn there and they just happened to all get caught. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, are you trying to prove you are better or more mature than Patrick? Is that why you degrade him as often as possible? As an outsider looking in, I can tell you its having quite the opposite effect.

    = = = = = =

    Frank - Thanks for the advice. However, if more people were saying the same things, maybe it would stop.

    I don't know why Beavis-incarnate feels the need to jump on Patrick's back at every chance he gets. I doubt Patrick has ever done anything to him besides try to be a friend. This is Junior High School crap and it really needs to stop. :(

    You fail to see the point. again.

    Pat and I hashed our crap out along time ago. I have, and always will question his thought process when he CONSISTANLY breaks the law, (eg. running a red like on wilshire while looking at a ferrari in the window).

    He has a history of reckless driving issues. Put yourself in the other drivers shoes when he sees some kid in a camero cross a double yellow line to line up for a car show and he cannot stop.

    Get off your high horse and see though the "we all speed" crap.

    A double yellow is a double yellow.

    Trust me. We've all seen this happen ad nauseum. Patrick "sets himself up" by trying to be open and helpful, and they point how how naive and stupid he is. It will never stop.

    And Matteo, never made a judgment about what you do to Pat, just said that Erik shouldn't waste his breath.

    Nobody needs to "know you" to see what you are doing here is wrong.

    You may be the greatest guy in person and all your friends may actually like you, but your online persona and the attitude conveyed by your posts certainly doesn't match up with that.

    Go buy yourself a punching bag if you need something to beat up on to feel good about yourself.

    There's nothing about mine or Patrick's posts that said the action of crossing the double yellow was legal, logical, or permissable. It seems you're the one missing points here.

    You say this as if I care

    That is my point. Telling someone to NOT cross a double yellow line equates to not driving alone in the car pool lane. It's something everyone knows and if they do it then they are stupid and deserve to get a ticket.

    Pat's statements...

    1. I saw people making turns there ALL THE TIME, so I made a turn and got pulled by a NBPD

    2. She said I was speeding on PCH (said I was doing 70+mph), but I know I wasn't going over the speed-limit (55mph),

    3. So guys, watch out for those double yellow-lines!!!"

    To sum up...

    1. They do it so I can do it to. Is he not aware of California traffic laws?
    2. Suprise here, not paying attention....again.
    3. This this is a suprise?
