Nevada had something similar for speeding below 70 MPH, but the feds stepped in and said that Nevada was not enforcing the 'spirit of the law' and that highway funds would be withheld if they did not impose 'meaningful' penalties. I for one find it highly amusing that the feds can be so damn picky, petty, and by-the-book about everything they do and then have the gall to tell someone else that what they are interested in is the 'spirit of the law'. -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!rcj
