Flashed by streetlight camera? -

A lady I work with asked me if I could bring her home, so I did. She told me it was just a 15 min drive from Elmwood to the Westbank. I told her I wasn t sure but she begged me so I did. I was so scared it was raining so hard, I didn t know where I was. My defrost was broken in my car so I couldn t see out the windows and it was raining so hard I couldn t see much of the road. She told me to turn so I did not being able to see and everything I was going off her word. I turned into incoming traffic so I slammed on my breaks before any cars came and I kinda yanked the wheel to go back into the right area. But when I turned into the wrong incoming lane a flashing camera flashed me. Do you think it flashed my front or the back of my car. We don t have plates on the front so if not Ill be okay but its not fair I didn t run a red light and I couldn t see anything I can barely afford to get by and this is the last thing I need right now.

I m afraid that the only thing you can do is just wait and see if you get the ticket in the mail. On the one hand it s bad waiting to see if the thing is going to show up, but then again at least you have a good shot at it not going in the mail at all. I d say you would be in the clear after giving it 4 weeks. In the meantime, don t waste your time worrying day and night over it; there isn t anything you can do about it until you get a ticket.

Just to be sure you probably need to force out that picture. Traffic cameras can usually only hold twelve to nineteen photos in memory, so you need to get a car (that you aren t affiliate with) and create at least twenty violations so that it forgets about your violation.

probably not flashing at you. Th cameras are usually for red light runners. It was probably taking a picture of someone else.Whatever. Don t come on here and start with the i can t deal with this right now shi8. If you can t afford a little ticket then get a new job rather than complaining to us.

Well if the windows were fogged then they cant see you in the picture, you will get a picture of your car in the mail if you get a ticket. If you cant see you face in the picture then you dont have to pay the ticket.

I hope you aren t out on the road while i m driving

WELL.... WHERE WAS THE CAMERA THAT FLASHED YOU?im not freakin jesus here

When it snows in Chicago does the snow stay on the ground very long? -

I mean does it stay around for a week or two or longer? Does it snow quiet a lot in the winter, and is there usually snow on the ground on christmas day. I have seen it in many movies and was wondering if there is a lot of snow and if it stays.

The weather varies so much in Chicago (and many places in the central United States). Sometimes the snow will sit for weeks, sometimes it ll be gone by the next day. Sometimes it ll be cold for a month, then we ll have a week or two of fairly warm weather.Just always remember to bring a coat and if you have a car, have the necessary supplies in there to scrape off your windshield. It ll be cold, there will be snow, but it is constantly changing.

It depends on how warm the ground is. Right now, the ground isn t really frozen through because it s been warm on and off. Later in the season, the snow will stay around if it continues to be cold. It also depends if there is a lot of snow or just a sprinkle. Sometimes when it gets all gray and ugly you wish it would just go away or get a fresh cover of nice, white snow.

Chicago is VERY cold in the winter! It snows alot in chicago, and sometimes the snow stays til atleast april or may. There usually is snow on christmas day.

I hoping and assume that this will be a mild winter but most winters there is snow on the ground for weeks even months.With the exception of plowed and salted streets.

Yes. Snow usually sits on the ground for weeks.

if it is cold enough it stays for a long time

Why is NYC called the quot;Big Apple?quot;? -

A newspaper writer, John Fitzgerald, heard stable boys in New Orleans call New York the Big Apple because of the big winnings that could be had at the race tracks there. He called his New York column, Around the Big Apple. Jazz musicians in Kansas City and New Orleans also picked up the term to describe the city. In 1997, the New York City Council named the southwest corner of West 54th Street and Broadway, the Big Apple Corner , in honor of Fitzhgerald

Where is the best place to stay in or near Destin, Florida? -

We ll be traveling to Destin, FL in early April. There will be 7 adults and 5 kids ranging in age from 9 to 1. We re interested in a house, condo, or resort with easy beach access. Pools, activities, and close proximity to other attractions a plus. Any suggestions?Thanks!

Florida has a ton of great places to stay, and renting a house or a condo would be a great idea with a group of that size.Rather than give you a specific property name and location, I would suggest that you do some research on the available houses/condos, the prices and the locations within Destin. I have used justvr.com in the past and it was quite helpful for narrowing down my choices and booking a few nights stay.

Try HomeAway.com for condos/apartments. TripAdvisor.com has destination guides and lists of hotels/resorts, along with comments on them by past guests.

Will i get a Visa for USA? -

I am planning a holiday to USA next year for about 3 weeks. I will be 23 when i travel and am lead to believe that it is very strict to get in.When i was younger i was arrested for having a spliff (joys of childhood) and also was caught steeling some sweets when i was a kid on both occations i recieved a police caution. As well as this i lost my driving licence last year for speeding (got 6 points and licence revoked).Im now not sure if i will get in?Can anybody tell me if they have had similar issues and any advise would be gratefully recieved.Many Thanks

Probably OKTo find out for sure apply for your ESTA now. The Electronic System for Travel Authorisation effectively replaced the old Visa Waiver System. You can apply on line at :-https;//esta.cbp.dhs.govIt s free and valid for 2 years and permits multiple entries. If you tell the truth when you apply and the application is granted then all is well. If it is refused you will know in good time and at no cost. You could still request a personal interview at the US Embassy and present your case. They may relent, as the offences are fairly minor.Needless to say you will not be permitted to drive over there.Ian M

. I have a conviction for possession of a class A drug, ... SWee the sites below for info that may help you. you definetly need to apply for a

A British citizen does not require a visa, just a new type, machine readable, passport.

Don t worry you will get in those were very minor offences.Just make sure you are not bald and have a huge beard and wearing sandals when you go.

What is the cheapest way to move coast to coast? -

I need to move from California (Pomona) to Virginia (Roanoke) as cost-effectively as possible. The most I have to move is about a truck-load/small U-Haul size of stuff. No furniture, just boxes of items such as clothing and necessities. I would like to do this before Christmas.

cheapest would be to drive the u-haul truck yourself. But thats 1 hell of a drive. I d just hire a moving company and fly there.

Oh dear, you want to move one coast to another coast, huh? Quite an undertaking...might want to check with the locals first. lol, in answer to your question...the cheapest way is to go simply. If you can t carry it (on your back or along as luggage), then it s not something that *needs* to be moved. Make yourself into a nice little pack mule and hop on the next train out of town.

Where can I park for five days in Los Angeles for free without getting a ticket? -

I m leaving town for Thanksgiving and I ve been having difficulties figuring out where I should park my car during this time. I ll be leaving Monday and returning the following Friday. I can t park outside of my apartment because I ll get a ticket. And I don t want to leave my car at the airport if I can help it, because I don t have much money to spare. Where in Los Angeles could I get away with leaving my car for five days without paying or getting a ticket? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Just an idea, Not sure if it would work. Try one of the Park and Ride lots, and take public transportation to the airport. You would eventually have to use the Green Line to the Aviation Street Station then use the free G shuttle to the airport. Just a thought.

Cabin had the right idea if you ve got the money. I do that every time I fly.Here s another idea:Park your car where you normally do. Have a friend in the apartment, or maybe the manager, just move it forward or backward every other day. They only go by chalk on the tire to determine if you are garaging your vehicle on the street.A San Diego police officer told me to do this many years ago when I had a seriously ill vehicle. It worked great. I finally got the car fixed and running about five months later. Also, does anyone remember that George performed the same service on Seinfeld for the other tenants in his apartment building?

It s a little risky around Westchester because of all the car theft there, but it can be done. If I were you I d pay to use park and fly or just have a friend drive you and park the car at his place and let him move it once when street cleaning happens, but if you don t want to do that...There s a residential neighborhood behind the YMCA which is located on 83rd and Sepulveda that has no street cleaning on some of the streets. You need to check signs. You could park your car there but you do risk it getting broken into.

You can try to find a residential neighborhood with no parking restrictions and leave your car there. however I can t think of any place near the airport that would allow this. You might try LAX Park (http://www.laxparkandfly.com); their rates are really cheap ($5-6/day) and their shuttles are fast. I just used them and was very happy with it especially given the price.

well you might want to be more specific, no idea what part of LA you live in. obviously, you can park in a poor neighborhood where there isnt marked street cleaning. for instance Gower st in hollywood nobody cares. just drive around and find somewhere where cars look abandoned i suppose, though someone might break into it.

It seems you have a car and I wonder where you park it when you are not out of town.Anyways park your car either at Wal-mart or Sam s Club, especially Wal-mart since it s open 24/7. Many big trucks are parked there overnight.

The only way you can do that is if you have relatives that ll gladly share you some space.

I agree with the guy above. Have a friend move your car around for you. You can buy them food and beer in return.

Like I stated in another question that I answered, Impossible Question Day is not until February (it s on the fifth Monday in February). Don t you have friends or relatives? Anyone? Because Los Angeles has a 72-hour limit on parking in one spot. Enforcement of said law depends on where you live; some areas are much more ticket-happy than others. I m guessing you don t have a spot in your apartment.Your options seem to be rather limited, and support what we always say here: LA is very expensive, and people here have a casual indifference.-Park in a friend or relative s property.-Find a street with no parking restrictions and lax enforcement, and hope your car isn t stolen or vandalized. This is a virtual impossibility on the west side, because of the Parking Gestapo, and in many other areas because of crime. -Park on private property, such as a Wal-Mart or shopping mall. However, a car there for 5 days will most certainly be noticed, and either ticketed, towed, or vandalized.Sorry, it looks like you are either going to have to pay to park, or take your chances.
