Update: Strong glares, ticket remains. 
Note: This has got to take the cake and I am NOT making this up!

Using laws of angular momentum in Physics (no kidding!)
(m*v1*v1)/ r1 = (m*v2*v2)/ r2
Where,
vX = Velocity of Vehicle X
rX = Radius of the Turn for Vehicle X
m = mass of the vehicle
We know
v1 = unknown
r1 = 4 mts (from 2 lanes away, 2 meters per lane)
v2 = 81 mph (measured by speed gun)
r2 = 6 mts (from 3 lanes away, 2 meters per lane) |
Therefore, putting in the formula above,
(v1*v1)/ 4 = (81*81)/ 6
v1 ~= 67mph (66.13 to be more precise), which is around the speed limit of (65 mph).
Hence, my lord, I was NOT SPEEDING!!
The original traffic violation ticket was $250 and 4 points, the court date is today and my friend is going to argue his case as above! Any guesses on what the outcome will be? The results will be updated by EOD…
Geekiness to the core. I have amazing friends.

Havent been blogging for a while now.. buried in work / moving / etc etc. Things should stabilize over the next few weeks though… once I get my dosa batter making machine, I’ll be very happy! Anyow.
Over the last few days I have noticed a few things…
1. If a country is democratic and their leaders are democratically elected, why are the people unhappy with their leaders? :-:: And why do such leaders always create laws and make decisions that cause more pain than before?
2. Its a good thing to find out that you are not good at something. I found one a couple of weeks ago and mahn was it depressing. I am working towards it… 
So should be decent at it hopefully soon.
3. Its good to have a high maintenance girlfriend. They may be difficult to afford but atleast they are easy to please. To find out if your’s is one, read this.
4. Sometimes its a good idea to not say anything and let things be.
5. You never have friends, you have people who know various parts of your life. Those that know the good parts become ‘friends’ and those who know the bad parts, become your enemies.
And now I need to sleep.
