[QUOTE="TomT, post: 802223, member: 55397"] I got news for you. They are not. As I stated in my first post, laws are written by lawyers. Have you ever seen anything written by a lawyer that was to the point? Okay, since the use of turn signals is actually a fairly new law in Texas I had to check our own laws. We also have the 100' rule. It's good in theory but should really vary by posted speed limit. If they are going down a road at 50mph, and know they will be turning, shouldn't they be letting you know before they have to brake? They would need to be braking long before the 100' mark. That is just another example of reading the intent of the law because it cannot possibly spell out every scenerio. (The second law you refer to is not for the use of turn signals). I should know better then to argue with you TJR. :rolleyes: But let me just say that YES, I think an LEO should be able to make decisions on his own. Not saying be judge and jury, just be a peace officer first and a law enforcement officer second. There's a big difference. And it's the latter that makes cops look bad. [/QUOTE]
