This short video from New Zealand examines 3 Maori boys waiting in a car for their father to return. They parody the father driving while under the influence of marihuana during the wait. It is humourous on the face of it, but if you really think about it they are really keenly aware of the dangers of drug impaired driving. I have received many e-mails telling me that marijuana does not impair driving, but my experience tends more toward what I see in the video.

My question to you is, why was I charged for 9 days storage and my vehicle held for 8 days for a 7 day impoundment?

Now and again you hear about something so stupid that you shake your head and wonder what the heck was that driver thinking? Yesterday's case in point was an older female who stopped in the fast lane on the opposite side of a divided highway to take a picture of a fatal collision. All the traffic behind had to screech to a halt to avoid colliding with her.

I've recently attended a dispute hearing for a speeding in a municipality charge. When I arrived the officer greeted me in the hallway before the courtroom and invited me into a small interrogation room. He then asked me what my intentions were, and after a quick run down of the possible options, I replied that I was here to plead not guilty.
