Some things are rather ridiculous eh? How many hundreds of folks jaywalked that day and didn't get ticketed to begin with? Petty and I would think they would be horribly embarrassed by the whole thing.

Yeah, someone might apologize to the badly injured guy at the least.
That's bureaucracy for ya!

Sometimes they just need to write those tickets. When I was about 14, I wrecked on a small motorcycle.
My fault, young & dumb (at least a little dumber than now), I ran a stop sign & T-boned an old 60's Olds
& I lost. Back then, the cops had gurneys in the back & he loaded me up, put the sheet over my face &
told my friends I was dead. Got to the hospital & had 40 stitches in my head & some more in my elbow.
But that officer hung around to see if I had lived & gave my mom 3 tickets. Operator not licensed, reckless
driving & disregarding stop sign. I guess he had his job to do. When you're wrong, you're wrong.

For as many people as want the tickets written there are just as many that don't want them written.

I think we write too many tickets for the stoopid things - but don't have a better way to enforce the rules that keep most people honest.

It's a catch 22.

Just wait. They will probably fire that bus driver for leaving his bus to help old ladies across the road. I just hope they can repair his shattered knee.
