Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

Evening, Lodge. My weekend started off crappy. Got a final notice for a parking ticket I never knew I had. Blew out a tire right by my place of employment on the way home early last month, during a -10 degree snowstorm, had to leave it on a dead end frontage "road" (where I work) overnight. Towing companies quoted me a min 6 hour wait before I would get towed (had called at 6pm that night). The ticket was issued at 4am, in violation of a 2-5am parking ban (city ordinance). Even the next day, it took 7 hours between my call, and when I got towed.

Never had a ticket on the windshield, never got a previous notice about said ticket, and got a "final and only notice" in the mail today.

If it was a $10 ticket or something, fine, F it, I'll pay. But it's $47. Gonna raise some hell on Monday. F that cop. Heartless bastige.

There is no such thing as a $10 ticket anymore. I’m not sure there has been in decades.

I wouldn't know. The last ticket I got (and yes, I still remember this) was after the StL Rams/Titans Super Bowl (2000) and I received a fixit ticket for a broken tail light. In fact, I've received a grand total of 1 parking ticket (tUMD parking rules), and 2 fixits in my life. The parking ticket for tUMD was $6. Never have been pulled over/etc otherwise.

I don't think anything around here is less than 25 and most are 50$

Good Afternoon Lodge! The country club is grand!

I had to pay $50 when I got a ticket for doing an Idaho stop on my bike 2 years ago.

Idaho stop? Is that another name for the California Rolling Stop?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

I’ve never heard of either of those.

CA Rolling Stop is when you almost kinda sorta stop at a stop sign, but don't come to a complete stop, then continue on.

Edit: just looked up Idaho Stop. Interesting:

The Idaho stop is the common name for a law that allows cyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign, and a red light as a stop sign. It first became law in Idaho in 1982, but was not adopted elsewhere until Delaware adopted a limited stop-as-yield law in 2017.

I am constantly learning things from the Lodge.

So an Idaho stop is how all cyclists behave already.
