Sorry you are looking for another position, perhaps it is the way to get away from some people who were not so nice. You mention good faith- every contract has an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. What you describe could be a violation but your damages would be only for the lost... View More
I'm seeing a lot of road construction where the traffic lights still operate as normal but where there is simply no possibility of cross traffic, no possibility of U-Turns, even. I've seen some drivers, including a bus, treat the solid red light as a stop sign, I've seen some just go... View More

Sometimes the law doesn't seem logical, like you cannot carry an ice cream cone in your pocket in August in Lansing, Michigan. But in this case, the 100% consensus is the traffic signal is (by the law) deemed to be smarter than you, and must be obeyed. Welcome to Artificial Intelligence. An... View More
I would like to inquire about the legality of operating my father's insured vehicle without being registered as a secondary driver on his insurance policy. I possess a valid driver's license. Kindly provide clarification on this matter.
answered on Jun 1, 2024
First, you could be cited as an uninsured driver. Next, if there is a collision, neither you nor the vehicle may be covered and as the owner, your father could end up being responsible to pay for any and all damages caused by you in the collision. The only thing more expensive than having... View More

The operator of a vehicle on the highways is responsible to be sure that the vehicle is in compliance with all the laws, headlights and taillights working, turn signals, and registered with a valid set of tags. For consolation, no body walks their car before getting in to check the tags, but there... View More

answered on Jun 1, 2024
Oncoming pedestrian, it is true, with one exception, if the roadway is divided, with a median built in and the pedestrian has not reached that median, you could make your right turn, in most situations. You are not failing to yield to the ped if they are in front of traffic going the other way.... View More

I was speeding and going 50 in a 25 I was clocked by a speed trap going 50. On my ticket it states that was my speed and that the Secs. Timed was 1.3200 but where it says Miles times, and Miles followed it is blank. I was given a ticket under Obedience to Traffic Control Devices rather than a... View More

Get a local traffic ticket attorney. My opinion is NO, because it is an instantaneous speed reading and not a pacing. "Miles" is for when you are paced by an officer in a car. Thank you for using Justia's Ask a Lawyer, but don't rely on what you are told here, consult a local... View More

I was going 69 in a 70. His vehicle is governed to 70 and he waited until the last seconds to try and pass. He could clearly see the lane was about to end and forced me onto the shoulder and then struck the rear of my vehicle.

You need to satisfy that Magistrate. Hire a traffic ticket attorney to represent you in RI. They may be able to do better, but it will still cost you something. Thank you for using Justia's Ask a Lawyer, but don't rely on what you are told here, consult a local attorney who will obtain... View More
Is it also illegal that I passed that person and got in front because they were going 15mph in a 30
answered on Jun 1, 2024
Yes, going too slow can be an offense, particularly if impeding traffic. How you passed this vehicle could also be an offense, depending if you crossed double lines, or committed some other type of offense. Thank you for using Justia's Ask a Lawyer, but don't rely on what you are told... View More
My license was suspended due to failure to maintain FR insurance on a date that was actually over 3 years since the DUI. The state is charging me with a 3rd offense or DWLS. I'm under the impression that an FR infraction tied to a DUIb would not apply. The officer also searched my vehicle... View More

Assuming that you are writing because you were cited for no insurance, you can show that you had coverage to the Court by providing a written certification from your insurance agent that your policy was in effect when you got the ticket. Thank you for using Justia's Ask a Lawyer, but... View More

Mr. Brown is a brilliant attorney, he is 100% correct, hire an attorney. In fact, hire him! He gives good advice.

Possible. BUT, don't go calling them up to ask where is your ticket, or you will get one for sure! These local attorneys cannot even tell you and I bet they even use AI! Retain one of them, if you do get the ticket, but don't lose sleep until then. Thank you for using Justia's Ask a... View More
