1 The implication of the post above with the GPS system etc. for tracking tailgaters isn't for bumper to bumper traffic because of an accident or whatever your fantasy is. Do you need someone to talk to about this obviously life defining harrowing jerk honking at you in a traffic jam? 2 If I'm doing burnouts i'm obviously not exactly too concerned about MPG or tire tread.

Thank you all of you that have given me starting points. It turns out on a prior bill, for something else, I was sent by the hospital there was fine print on the back of it stating that payment of the bill is consent to open a line of credit with shitlorde bank. What the gently caress?

Oh I'm SORRY I thought this was AMERICA! I still think the funniest part of this story is citizen-policing tailgaters and presumably submitting the evidence to police in the hopes they'll give a gently caress -- that's the biggest stretch for me. But maybe police in Canadialand are different.  Azuth0667 posted:Thank you all of you that have given me starting points.

That's kind of what I figured, tl;dr I guess is that you consented -- I would still be mad as gently caress though. And that still sounds kind of shady to me, because in my mind, with no evidence or justification whatsoever, the hospital is getting a kickback from the bank for this policy and I don't like that. That kind of poo poo is way way outside my legal wheelhouse though.

I don't understand am I supposed to refuse to pay the bill then because there's no option to pay without consenting to a line of credit? Also aren't there way more things you have to do and bring up to someone before they can open a line of credit? Whenever I sign up for a store card to take advantage of a no interest period there's always some sort of contract I have to sign and a bunch of papers they go over with me. My previous two auto loans had stupid amounts of paperwork and the mortgage had a books worth of paperwork.

The statement is literally: quote:In this welcome kit you will find your first statement that shows your monthly minimum payment. To activate your <lovely line of credit> account and become a <lovely line of credit> member, simply make your first payment to <lovely line of credit> either by mail, phone or online. The program is voluntary and there is no application required to participate. There was never a welcome kit.

I don't know the amount in question, but it's time to talk to an attorney in your area if you want resolution. I don't know enough about the total circumstances or the laws in your state, but I know a general predatory/deceptive arrangement when I see one. I have never worked on a case like this specifically, but there are tons of alarms going off in my head at this point.

I would note that when it comes to sketchy as all loving hell practices at something like a hospital, a call to a local news reporter may be quite effective and free! I'd talk to the lawyer first though.

Top 5 Things People Say to try to get out of a Ticket: 1. I was going the speed limit/I thought the speed limit was XX (spoiler: they weren't/it wasn't) 2. I've never had a ticket before in my life. (this is kind of the same, I guess) 3. I was going the same speed as everyone else. (spoiler: they weren't) 4. I have a very nebulous, most likely made up, and not very important "emergency." (spoiler: its as false as it is uninteresting and unconvincing.) 5. You must have clocked that other guy who was driving fast. (spoiler: there was no other guy)

Within the US, typically the law of the state that the company you are buying from is applied (the place they are incorporated or the place they are based). The "no surcharge" laws have been successfully challenged in NY and CA, and the Supreme Court just recently kicked the question back down to the states; I wouldn't expect such statutes to survive much longer.

I'm not really sure that the people getting high and mighty because they drive in a way that impedes good traffic flow and increases the number of merges and passes on the right drivers make because they're simply too lazy or obstinate to drive efficiently have much of a moral high ground over the people deliberately driving poorly due to their frustration with the former group.

There's a big difference between some clown tailgating in a residential zone because they want to drive 45 mph in a school zone and an idiot driving in the left lane on the freeway going the exact speed limit or lower. I make sure to do both to cover my bases.

My favorite is living near a hilly stretch of I10 where the limit is 80mph. People will chug up the hills going <70 and then fly down the hills at >90. So they end up passing me and getting passed in an endless cycle or I get stuck behind them because of the 18wheelers in the right lane that are going even slower.

Tailgating talk is truly the sorting hat of this thread; everyone is being outed as either the latest DLC character from Twisted Metal, or a 137 year old farmer who has to take their "horse-less carriage" to town once a month to trade dried beans for salt pork.

Australian Law question: The Department of Health website (in a section about confidentiality for health workers) states that "All people (except clergy, medical practitioners and legal advisers) are required to give the police any information they may have about a serious crime including arson, murder, assault and sexual assault." It doesn't cite any specific law to justify this statement - could anyone link to be relevant Australian legislation or case law about this?

Thanks, that's interesting. In Victoria's Crimes ACT it looks like there's only a "Concealing offences for benefit" charge, not a general "Concealing a serious offense"-style one.
