My kid is in school in Queens; this is absolutely 100% the parents’ fault. There is rarely any need to drive your kids in the first place: https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/research-alliance/research/spotlight-nyc-schools/how-far-do-nyc-students-travel-get-school

the buses are not fans of this practice, and they’ve been ratting out the parents reporting a crime

You want my precious incredibly special child to have to suffer the dangers of walking around the block to get to my car? Do you know how many terrible things could happen in that one block? Don’t you know how incredibly dangerous the world has gotten?!?!?  What happens if one of them illegals is out there waiting for…

Maybe we don’t need to drop out little darlings off directly at the school’s door. I get that not every family lives where it’s possible for them to get their kids to school on foot or bike, where school bus service (for public schools) might be inconvenient, and that some kids are a little young to send them on…

Yeah if their kid doesn’t show up within the 5 minutes they’re allowed to wait, just drive around the block and try again.

I was going to almost partly side with the parents, but really it’s not a problem the city made. It’s a problem the schools made by not setting up the school with an addequate way for parents to drop off. Whether that’s a public school system issue or private schools, I don’t know.

What the saying? Full me once, shame on you, full me twice shame on me. you went back 4 times?

If you can’t refuel your gasoline powered car because the station is closed, you’re not going to have a long range either.

civil rights we fought and died for surrendered for a hamburger’s taxi ride.

I have yet to see a new Z, and I live in FL where retirees come to spend their children’s’ inheritance the money they saved during their career on playthings.

If you asked the question, “Who is Nissan?” or “Who is Ford?”, you would get confused looks. Maybe some people would name the CEO, if they even knew who it was.

Since the cop had the discretion NOT to ticket her, and in most cases wouldn’t have, I’m guessing he gave her the ticket because she was a) incredibly inattentive and then tried to avoid accountability (like in her statements); b) rude to the cop, or c) she didn’t seem competent to drive.

So speaking about things that happen on the regular is considered anti now?

Bullshit. That’s what you read into it because your bias overwhelms your rationality. There is nothing in the article that even comes close to being anti-police.

Gotta agree with the other early commenters, the lady is at fault. Ignorance is no excuse and if someone hit my car, I’d want them to pay something too. The ticket may be a bit much, but it is still cheaper than painting a bumper or hitting someone in the car wash. My mother is 77 and her driving is starting to really…

The fuck does this have to do with politics?  A careless driving ticket is certainly warranted, because she was driving, carelessly, but this has fuck all to do with left or right.  Pull your head out of Trump’s ass and start using it to think.

Oh yeah man, I’m constantly wading through articles about how the state should nationalize everything and anarchism should reign. Dolt.

This. Imagine she did this at a crosswalk with kids in it.

As someone who thinks the cops are douchy, out-of-control fuckwads most of the time... what the fuck is this bullshit article. She hit a cop car. She got a ticket. Seems pretty fucking straightforward to me. Don't wanna get a careless driving ticket? Don't run into someone else's car. And WTF is this "I don't think I…
