     People have been running yellows as long as I can remember, grace period
or no.  Also, any lights here in Lansing (Michigan--thanx for the great beer! 
B+) don't have "grace periods;" and some lights have inadequate lengths of time
for the yellow lights.  Needless to say, the urge to run yellow lights can be
great.

The driver's test should correspond to the physics, namely you want
the car to roll into the curb instead of into traffic.

So, the rule would be "if you're heading uphill, turn away from the curb;
if you're heading downhill, turn toward the curb".

Seeing the discussion on the net about driving practises
has reminded me that I wanted to warn others about a deadly
concept that I have witnessed in southern N.B., along
the Trans-Canada Highway.  People in this part of the
country are quite courteous, and have a higher regard for
this than for safety.  When one vehicle notices that others
following behind are growing impatient with the current rate
of travel along the two lane/two way road, they sometimes
try to let the others pass, even when both parties are
doing in excess of 80 km/h.  This results in the passee driving on
the shoulder at whatever speed while the others attempt to pass.
It doesn't really matter whether the shoulder is wide enough, and
they may use part of the on coming traffic's side of the road.
I suppose they would choose to pass normally, except the highway
south of Fredericton is all curves with poor visibility in the
distance, as it hugs the St. John river.

The really wild variation on this, is when the passer expects the
on-coming traffic to take the shoulder as a matter of courtesy.
I have witnessed this being done (I didn't have an accident or a near
miss) and have talked with some other residents of N.B. to verify this.
In one case, the passer could see the on coming traffic coming
close as they started to pass, several cars were passed,
and this shoulder use occurred.  But when this driver returned to
the right lane, they did so with a leisurely rate.  No horns
sounded, no fists were shaking.

Last weekend there were a dozen or so accidents with six fatalities.
Charges are pending in all cases.

If you were filmed publicly I don't think you have a leg to stand on,
if you were filmed privately I don't think you have a leg to stand on
as the 'crew' must have been given permission (invited) in and you knew
you were being filmed. The best way to protect yourself is to do it in
advance: Ensure its done on private property and if there happens to be
other people with cameras there, or you give a tape to someone later,
ensure that is known that the copyright is yours solely and exclusively,
otherwise somebody may screw you.
(Think of how the rights to a sportscast are reserved).

I am afraid I can't sympathize though, It sounds like you were more than
happy to 'pose' while they were there, but greedy logic surfaced later.
However you might be able to find someone in

In the play, they give score for a competition, including a 6.6.
Then they said the judge made a mistake and it is 9.9.

Obviously, this is based on what happened to Sylvie Frechette (the judge
depress the wrong button that give her 8.? instead of 9.?, the result
being a silver instead of gold medal).  Isn't this a joke of very bad taste?

Interesting stuff sista!  Now we're getting closer to where I'M from :)

On the east coast of Nicaragua, where I come from, there is a town, Orinoco,
where there are people of the same descent.  What's more, a kid I went to 
school with, could say a few words of their language.  Of course they don't 
speak it anymore; he learned them from his grandmother.  It goes without
saying -but I'll say it anyway :)  that this area is populated by a lot
of descendants from Jamaica (Yard?).  Names like Cuthbirt (sp?), Hebbert,
Downs, Allen... abound.

I never had any hopes of finding anyone from my area on the net -actually I

isn't that far :)
