Youd be right if the bus HAD visible hazards on at hundreds of yards away, but the hazards werent on until somepoint between traveling closer to the van and as the ground flattened out. Between then and me passing the van and bus was roughly a block. The bus didnt have hazards for that time.

I like that the camera shows when the yellow lights are on, but im curious if this is the entire video too; if so, then the driver clearly only had hazards on for a couple feet from the stop. From my memory compared to this video, there wouldnt be much of a time difference, and they possibly passed a couple cars length of distance if somehow the lights turned on as soon as thr bus was out of view. I drive around buses plenty, they have their flashers on for a long distance before the stop.

Thank you for your thorough response!

🤣

My husband has this tattooed on his back including the State animals. Yes, both amphibians, too.

IANAL, but I think the problem here is that it’s not just the stop sign that swings out.

The bus drivers activate yellow flashing lights as they approach a stop and red lights as they actually come to a stop.

I could see how the van might have obscured the stop sign, but the flashers over the windshield (and on the rear of the bus are visible from hundreds of yards away and should have given you ample warning to stop.

If you’re concerned about losing your license you might want to consult a lawyer (anyone who advertises that they handle DUIs will usually take traffic cases.)

I got a BS ticket years ago for 75 in a 40 mph work zone on the turnpike. It was the middle of the night, there was no work happening, half the signs said 55 mph and the other half said 40 mph and the trooper likely got a reading off the guy who blew past me and started fishtailing when he jammed on his brakes as he saw the cop. I was probably going 60-65.

That ticket (30+ over the limit) carried a two week suspension which I couldn’t afford. I paid a lawyer $500 and he pleaded it down to 50 in a 40 and failure to obey a traffic control device which was no points and like a $50 fine plus all of the bs court costs (judicial computerization fee, etc.)

If a two month suspension means you would lose your job, it’s probably worth the money. If you have a clean record a lawyer can probably negotiate something that would be easier on you and satisfy the state’s need to deter future violations.

Aaaaaaaaand this is why we should never be giving LERTA tax breaks to warehouses. They come in, fuck up a community for ten years, and bounce leaving local municipalities with a monstrosity no one uses.

Maryland’s way more obsessed with their state flag (and rightfully so). I would honestly propose we have some variation of the Keystone flag designs. Most of the alternative state flags with just Keystones on them tend to look amazing imo

This was something Ive read on the back of my ticket. The wording of that felt confusing to me, like it looks like it says no points/suspension would happen, but then again that just doesnt...seem right lol like I HAVE to be reading it wrong to have title 1535 list the points, but my ticket says im not going to lose points.

EDIT: You're correct! No points or insurance hikes if its just a camera that catches you. It's different if police catch it happening.

This puts me at ease, you and 814lifechanging are good people.

Looking at the front of the car, see how it dips and lowers speed similarly to the van that did make a full stop? Is the basis of slowing movement just off of one light from behind when ive passed the bus?

Youre right on the hatchlight position, just not the model year.

Maybe, just maybe, if they offered everyday people something besides book bans, abortion laws, and protecting us from ‘woke’, whatever that is, people would actually vote for them and this problem would go away. Just sayin

I meant more along the lines of we don’t appreciate it or incorporate it enough as Pennsylvanians.

The Maryland people are obsessed with theirs. It’s everywhere and on every thing.

Thanks for the info, I will look in to it. Maybe my husband has lied to me😄 certainly wouldn't be the first time.

I can't believe they let her go to the renn faire twice. Like, wth.

I truly don’t get it. His Facebook and Twitter pages are filled with people who say they can’t stand him and want him gone. Even the comment sections of the local news sites are 5 to 1 GTFO. This thread alone has a dozen people saying the same thing. It seems, outwardly, his constituents HATE him. So, how on earth does he continue to be re-elected?

Graphic design back then wasn’t what it is today.

Oh geez, maybe the estimate is off? I will say that they seem to have kept their customer support operating at a high level, maybe they can help?

Read the State Code:

A violation under this section shall not: (i) be deemed a criminal conviction; (ii) be made part of the operating record of the individual upon whom the penalty is imposed under section 1535 (relating to schedule of convictions and points); (iii) be the subject of merit rating for insurance purposes; or (iv) authorize imposition of surcharge points in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage.

335.1(c)(4)(iv) is posted above. No points. Either your husband did it before (occam’s razor) or somehow the law is different in Erie. Or municipal error, I suppose

It can be tough being wrong/guilty.

All Mazda 3 hatchbacks have a brake light at the top of the hatch, so why isn’t your hatches’s brake light on if you are braking? They don’t “go off” you just drive out of view lol

The philadelphia navy yard would like a word

I guess but that's exactly what happened.

Can’t both be right.

Washington DC did not exist yet but Mount Vernon was Washington's farm estate. Down the Delaware to the crossing of Delmarva, elk river to annapolis to the trail to mt Vernon. All still exists. Major Thoroughfare in colonial times. And an important port

Wrong model year but thanks.

They are the brake lights if you look further into the video when the back brake lights go off when I let go of them. Youre full of shit on two counts my friend.

Yes, bus camera, first time. He received a letter in the mail after the fact and went to traffic court. He is now currently suspended. Erie Pa. I'm not incorrect.

I'd been getting mine within 2 days.

My autoship date just hit (yesterday), and the delivery estimate is now... next Wednesday, a full 7 days out.

I'm now going to run out of food. Sigh. I guess we really aren't allowed to have nice things in America anymore. I only moved to Chewy because, if you autoship, the price increase was negligible, and stores kept leaving me hanging with empty shelves and price spikes.

If Chewy's going to leave me holding the (empty) bag... now what?
