D@mn Bull...I just spit coffee all over my desk through my nose. That is some funny $hit. Sorry Lupe but you "earned" that one

I had forgotten to tell everybody about the "roller coaster". It kind-of surprised me too. Above 50mph it will make your stomach float. If anybody was trying to catch up, they were in for a surprise for sure.

Bull, the "sisters" are the three State Farm roads 335, 336 and 337.

Hwy 39 starts out with Hwy 27 from Kerrville and head to the west following the Guadeloupe river. After a few miles 27 breaks off to the west and 39 continues following the river.

The Guadalupe is partially spring fed with crystal clear water because of the river bed is mostly coleche (sp?) rock and limestone. It is well known for canoeing and inner tubing with copious amounts of beer in the hot Texas summers. Game preserves abound in this area of Texas due to the similarities in climate to Africa, hence all the exotic animals.

STRIPES,
Now, that there was an erudite and succinct response!

Just got a ticket today in the mail from TX DPS. The cited me for driving at an "Unsafe Speed"

WTF? 10 mph under the limit in that curve is unsafe? How did they figure that?

Did you tell them you were speeding????
I was doing the speed limit and i had to wait on you for 10 minutes!!!

Thats bull$hit...no cops around...how the f#ck do they know you were speeding. F#ck em...contest it

 

[nolton]

There are witnesses that you were not speeding. Have those that were with you send you a email stating that fact or a hand written statement mailed the old way.

 

[nolton]

Hell, you could have them state the fact that the road repair was poorly done and that is the only reason you went down.

 

[mexican]

I'm a witness,!!!

TexCav,
Some coppers would rather issue an infraction than take the time to justify to their supervisor in their report why one wasnot deserved.
There is no way anyone not a witness to the crash can know what your speed was. Unless the copper was a Superior Court qualified collision reconstruction expert AND he was able to obtain evidence supported by scene measurements, photographs and appropriate calculations, speed cannot be proven on a more probable than not basis.

Write a nice letter explaining you were NOT exceeding the speed limit and it was dirt or sand on the road surface that caused you to lose control.
State that you respectfully wish to contest the infraction and wish the attendance of the issuing officer should there be a hearing.
Further request ALL reports, statements and evidence that are being used in support of this charge be provided to you ASAP so that you may adequately prepare your defense.

Send this letter to the court address listed on the infraction. Also send a copy to the appropriate prosecuting attorney and one to the chief of police (or sheriff).

Dollar to a doughnut the charge is dismissed without having to go to court.
Good Luck,
