"Your also right kids shouldn't be running into a intersection. Problem is they do sometimes. I don't know how I could deal with the fact that I accidentally killed a kid because I didn't stop as I was supposed to, so that I could save 2 to 4 minutes time. I would have a problem seeing the mother of the child break down crying because of my actions. I don't think that it would be any consolation to her that it was her kids fault for not looking and running in the intersection."
I would feel bad that i accidently killed a kid sure, but if it wasn't my fault then there's nothing i can do about it...if your driving down a toronto city street doing 60 in a 50 and a kid walks out from behind a car and you kill them, your going to feel bad because your car killed them. You're not going to be thinking " damn if i was only going 50 instead of 60 i might have been able to stop in time. Roadways are dangerous places, for pedestrians, especially if they aren't paying attention to the cars around them.
Don't you feel the mother's of the ladies on this board would feel the same way if they found out you were paying their daughters to fuck? I bet you don't think about contributing to that do you?
In regards to the above point, your damn right they hope that you won't fight it and just pay up. That's why there are no demerit points associated with it. Just a fine. Most people will realize that their driving record wont be altered and its just easier to pay the $180 then take a day off work and fight it. Regardless of whether they are guilty or not. That is exactly how traffic court works. Most people are suckers, and pay any ticket they get right away. When you go to traffic court, outside the court room is a prosecutor, who offers EVERYBODY a reduced charge with less demerit points and a lower fine. They don't want to have to prove every ticket because it is just too time consuming. So they offer a deal whereby you can walk away feeling like you "won" and they don't even have to try you.
