stop class lessons
yay
NO MORE STOP CLASS!!!!!! ALL OVER!!!!
for those of you non-nebraskans, it is a class you take when you get a trafic violation or ticket. it costs $60 (less than half of my ticket price.....) and clears the ticket from your record if you pass the test at the end, which i did.
i learned a lot of interesting things at class. some are as follows
.10 alcohol content is equal to 1 drop of alcohol in 100 drops of blood
mouthwash has 12% alcohol content
coffee doesn't sober up drunk people. it just gets you wide awake drunks
sleepy people make more driving errors than drunk people
aggressive driving can be doing things to annoy people you think are driving aggressively
every 10 mph over the speed limit you go, you double your chance of an accident
on a 100 mile trip, at 60mph it takes 1:40 hours
65mph= 1:33
70 mph= 1:25
75mph = 1:20, therefore showing that speeding doesnt save you much time, maybe a few seconds, because how many of us take 1oomile trips every time we speed??
some dude's excuse for why he was speeding was that he just got his car washed and was drying it off
at least here, when you have a ticket, the court costs go to the county, and the fines go to the schools
your stopping distance is the perception distance plus reaction distance plus braking distance
the total average cost of a DWI first offense is $6, 711.50 plus jail and lose driver's license for 6 months. the fourth offence is $21, 811.50, 1-5 years in jail, and at least a 15 year suspension on your license...... dang!
a 150 lb person over the age of 21 can have 2 drinks before they become impared, 2 drinks being a 12 oz beer, a 5oz wine, or 1 1/2 oz distilled spirits.
however, if you are under 21, your blood alcohol level myst be under .02%, which one drink makes it go over, unless you weigh more than 180 lbs. the nebraska over 21 limit is .08%
anyway, so i learned some intersting stuff
