Now I`m guessing there`s a way to fight it, but I`m sure it will require you to appear somewhere with proof you were in a procession.
The only way to prove it is to bring the deceased with you in the casket and tell the judge you were following him. It worked for me! (But digging up the casket was a pain. Had to do it night when no one was around. Got some dirt on the courtroom floor and had to clean it up.)

Too Many STOP signs

The answer is "turn-abouts"...as opposed to STOP signs. Other countries use them and they are being experimented with here. Just have to teach peeps how to be courtious and merge.

The last couple of times I was in Brazil I noticed that almost all stop signs were eliminated except on major roads. Roundabouts were everywhere. They are fantastic for never stopping, but terrible for pedestrians. Imagine ripping out 9 out of ten stop signs/4 way stops, and replacing with a large circle. Just get in where you fit in, it makes you pay more attention and get used to driving as a group instead of an individual. Very savy, very efficient. BTW they use HUGE speed bumps AND red light cameras to keep the speeds down as the roads a quite narrow there (Brasilia/ Goiania). Every car was flex fuel, ethanol was at every pump, and even the Polticians drove econoboxes. Moped Taxis, and significat public transportation systems were everywhere. I'll just say we could use the roundabouts, let them keep everything else, our HHR is a FULL SIZE vehicle there. Actually the 4dr VW polo hatch (golf in the states) is considered full size.

Where I grew up, in Nome, Alaska, most of the stop signs had been shot off the posts. But if you ran one at an intersection, you would get a ticket for running the stop post. LOL!!! It's true!
