You Change Lane Into Oncoming Traffic Around A Parked Car

Someone asked me the other day “who has the right-of-way when approaching a parked vehicle on the roadway blocking your lane?”

This has always been a hard question to answer as basically both cars have one-half of the available roadway. This is fine when there's no parked car that blocks your lane. The law speaks of Stationary Emergency or Maintenance Vehicles with flashing lights. But what if it's not one of those vehicles? As the law is quite specific when encountering those vehicles why can't we use that law for any other type of vehicle or obstruction in your travel lane.

If, “you are required to make a lane change, you must make the lane change only if it's safe to do so according to road and traffic conditions. If a lane change is not possible, prohibited by law, or unsafe, you must slow down to a reasonable and proper speed for the existing conditions and be prepared to stop.” And, of course, stop if necessary to avoid a collision.

You Don't Take Warnings Seriously

 NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS.  
                 (To get you to stop your car).

1.    Eggs thrown at windshield.

If you are driving at night and eggs are thrown at your windshield, do not stop to check your car.  Do not operate the wipers and do not spray any water because eggs mixed with water will become milky and block your vision and you are then forced to stop.

 2.     Car seat with fake baby on side of road.

There is a gang initiation reported by some Police Departments where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it....waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
Usually by wooded secluded areas where person can be dragged into the woods to be beaten, robbed, raped or killed.  Don't Stop.  Call police and report what you saw.  Don't even slow down.

You Believe The Shotgun Is The Only Self-Defense Gun

Don't buy a shotgun unless you're willing to train, train and train some more in its use.  I taught  shotgun training for over 10 years to over 5,000 cops, many of whom were females.  Before you take VP Biden's advice to buy one for self-defense look at the video.  In another interview he said "just shoot through the door."  A woman home with her kids is spooked by a knock on her door at night.  Shoots through the door and then discovers the UPS man on his back gasping for air and dies.  The first rule is always identify your target and access the threat.  You can't see through the door so you didn't do that.  This is called recklessly killing someone which is punishable by 20 years in prison.  I guarantee you WILL go to jail.  I also taught Criminal Law for 24 years.  So let's compare the 12 ga. shotgun that he recommends to the AR-15 that he does not.  Biden only mentions one gauge and one model and makes no recommendation as to the best type of ammunition to use in the gun.  Can a shotgun be used for self-defense?  Of course, if you know how to use, and handle it properly. There are dozens of other articles and videos, by firearm experts, that prove my point.  - ENJOY.

You Think The Police Are Obligated To Protect You

If the police were obligated to protect everyone then they would be monetarily obligated to pay for all damages done by criminals that they did not stop which would cost billions of taxpayers money. They are obligated to keep the general peace, not babysit every individual. People are the problem. If you elected people who believe in the right of self defense there would eventually be far less home invaders. Eventually they would either stop or all be dead. 
Don't blame the police, blame yourself for not defending yourself and believing government lies that they will defend you; therefore you don't need guns.
The Supreme Court ruled that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm.  An exception may occur when you are in police custody, being transported or locked up.

You Get Kicked Out Of Harvard

BOSTON - As many as 60 students have been forced to withdraw from Harvard University after cheating on a final exam last year . . . .
Of course I'm not saying that it's OK to cheat or get kicked out of any college except Harvard.  Obviously it's not OK to cheat, or get thrown out for any reason, at any school.

1st Scenario:
Job Interviewer:  Have you ever cheated in school?
You:  Yes.
Interviewer:  Thank you for coming in anyway.  Don't call us, we'll call you.

2nd Scenario: 
Job Interviewer:  Have you ever cheated in school?
You:  No.  (Telling the truth, I hope).
Interviewer:  And how did you do in school?  (High School or College).
You:  I wasn't #1 but not too bad.  Good average.  Although I didn't get perfect scores on all my exams, what I did do is every question I got wrong I studied that information until I knew it very well.  So, although I didn't get perfect scores I did acquire excellent knowledge of all the subjects that I took. 
That, I believe, would impress the interviewers far more than having to admit that you got thrown out of college for cheating.

When I taught at a college in Denver, CO two students cheated.  Actually one cheated but the other allowed her to copy his answers which is not allowed.  Their scores on the exam was identical at 90%.  As they both took the exam I divided the 90% and gave them each 45%. 

You Lie For Someone Else

To do something stupid or lie on behalf of someone else which puts you and your family in jeopardy is the most idiotic thing you can do. When you lose your job or sent to prison, like many have in the past, and cannot support your family, the person you did it for will not help you - especially if he's a politician.Nothing in the above statement should be construed to mean that you should be truthful in situations that do not warrant it.  Not being truthful to an evil person to safeguard a family member or an innocent is not a lie.  Anyone who intends to immorally or unlawfully harm in any way, physically injure or deprive a person of a right is an evil person.

You Brag About Your Survival Cache

One way to help keep your home from invasion is to shut-up. You may have a gun for self-defense; criminals like to steal guns. You may have tools for survival in case of an emergency, others will like your tools so they can also survive. Many of us put up food supplies in case of an emergency like a tornado, hurricane and/or a winter storm that may close down the highways for a few days; therefore, no delivery to the supermarkets and hungry gangs are no fun to deal with.  If they know where the food is they will go after it.  So one way to stay safer is not to bring attention to yourself by bragging on how ready and smart you are about your survival cache. In other words--SHUT-UP.
This is not to say that you shouldn't help your family to prepare or to come to you for help if they have an emergency.  And tell THEM to SHUT-UP about it.

You Block An Egress

"a place or means of going out : exit"
Driveways, parking lots, cross and side streets all can be considered an egress.  When you're on the travel portion of the roadway you should be aware of these.  Of course if the traffic is moving you should also, but when you're stopped, usually in a line of cars, at a red light or stop sign, courtesy would dictate that you stop far enough back to allow a car to exit.  Conversely if you're the 2nd or 3rd car trying to exit it would be discourteous of you to block or unnecessarily delay the driver on the roadway who is being courteous.   Just before a red light on a street that I often travel there is a sign that says, "don't block driveways."  Most drivers block them anyway.  I think that if in the driveway there was a small cannon with an electric eye with a timer, of say 10 seconds, and if a car was in the line of fire for that time period it would blast the car off the road.  Then courtesy might just be in vogue.

You Think Guns Is The Issue

In regards to school and other shootings stop fixating on the wrong issue. Mental health is the issue. Instead of the school trying to help the shooter they just let the mother take him out of school, therefore losing all contact with a deranged person. Parents and others in authority knew he had issues but were afraid to say anything, i.e., do their job. Like 9/11 when the agencies wouldn't talk to each other the psychiatric community won't talk to each other because of too stringent privacy statutes. Being able to talk about mental issues among the professionals is not the same as blabbing and making fun of people at drunken parties or publishing it in the newspapers. Just as certain caregivers must report suspected child abuse and anyone can anonymously, the same type of law(s) should be enacted for mental health so these people can be identified, helped and confined if necessary.
