[net.legal] Beating the Rap

twh@mb2c.UUCP (Tim Hitchcock) (02/13/84)

 I was recently involved in a car accident. I went through an
 intersection in which *I thought*  I had a green light (it in fact
 was).

The light was one of those new *computerized* lights. A couple of young
men sitting at a red light (perpendicular to me) started through the
light prematurely (both had been drinking ).

When the policeman was filling out the report, he asked us who was at
fault. The other guy said that I ran a red light, I said that I thought
that it was green, but I could have made a mistake (obviously one of us
did) (***HONESTY***). The policeman said, "Ok, I'll write it down *AS
YOUR (MY) FAULT."

So much for the honest guy, huh !!!!!!

Sometimes nices theories don't work well in real life,
