    They didn’t blur his license plate. Poor bastard’s going to get fired for being too much of a free-thinker.

    That’s too bad. His other personilization of his company vehicle should be a bumper sticker that says
    “DON’T LIKE MY DRIVING? CALL 1-800-EAT-SHIT”

    What state was this? Sad that everyone is in such a darn rush that he felt the need for the note.

    Ha, the company I work for issued us cell phones with various features the management thought were good things. Checking you tube videos from the phone manufacturer I noticed one of their bragging points was the phone had a built in motion detector that could be remotely monitored. They stated if the phone has not moved for 20 minutes you can assume the employee is not busy doing anything. Fortunately, the phone was a lousy voice phone and they were recalled and replaced. Moving to fast or not at all, you’re being watched.

    Funny, I’ve been seriously considering making a sign for my service van.

    “I apologize if my driving the posted speed limit, stopping at read lights and stop signs, practicing common sense defensive driving techniques and conserving fuel has inconvenienced you in any way.”

    Maybe I’ll get it incorporated into the van wrap next time we get a new one.

    I figured out a long time ago that speeding around in city street traffic only really accomplishes 2 things.
    Spending more time sitting at red lights, and wasting fuel.

    I had several close calls while driving in NY over the weekend.

    I was passed on the off-ramp. I wasn’t going slow and my tires were on the verge of chirping. Some asshat was in a hurry I guess. Maybe he had to crap really bad or something.

    While driving home, I am doing 9 over and all these fellow citizens need to pass me only to get boxed in. When they pass the are boxed in ahead for the next half hour. And traffic was light.

    I could talk all day about the merging. How do people get licenses?

    BTW, Anybody know how to turn off the GPS/location function that cell phones are equipped with these days?

    The last time I got pulled over it was for going the speed limit! the officer said I stood out because every one else was speeding. I wonder how many times this poor guy will get stopped for standing out!

    Dude needs to hire a labor lawyer to sue the boss for putting him in this agonizing position.
    Beaucoup safety and mental stress issues…
    (of course I’m being sarcastic, but sadly this too will happen)

    @Rando
    I believe Iphones have GPS permanently on.
    Android phones have the option:
    Go to “settings.
    Then go to “location and security”.
    Turn off “use wireless networks” and “use GPS satellites”.

    Johnna – the state? Das Volk’s Republik der Maryland.

    Maryland is the Land Of The Gummint Worker – federal Gummint or state Gummint – they’re all bad.

    On the B-more beltway they have temporary “photo enforced” radar traps that are in white jeep liberties. I got a mail notice just the other day – $40 bucks for 12 over. When my wife showed me I remarked “good thing I slowed down…”.

    Thanks J. I don’t have a smart phone yet, but I am thinking ahead.
    My current cellphone has the option, and I (think) it is defeated. Between this and the license plate recognition system, I’m not feeling as private as I used to.
    Nobody needs to know where I am at all times.
