I've got a great idea..it's called cruise control! Set it at the speed limit and you wont get pulled over for speeding! What a concept  Otherwise stop complaining and making excuses...you made a mistake and now you get the consequences of your actions, it's life. I'm sure if he wrote you that ticket then he's next in line for a toaster oven at the policeman's ball. No there are no quotas!

I refuse to render aid to people and I don't give a [censored] what the law says. I don't feel like risking my ass being dragged into court.

Actually, most states' Good Samaritan laws specifically state NOT to render aid to people, because your average citizen would only make a condition worse.
The only people who are required to stop and render aid are those that are trained to do so, i.e. it is illegal for a doctor to watch a major car wreck and continue on as if he saw nothing, or a cop to watch an assault and not attempt to stop it.
Citizens are required not to stop and render aid but to immediately call for assistance.

In some states the Good Sam act protects you from being sued for rendering aid otherwise in this self-centered society of ours who would stop!

That doesn't prevent them from hauling you into court, you having to hire a lawyer and costing you $$$ only to have the case dismissed. [censored] it.

Yeah, because that's so much better than being sued because you didn't help.
The law only requires the average citizen that isn't trained to provide medical assistance to call 911. That's it.

How are they going to know you didn't help if you make it a point not to stop, etc.

I'm trained in first aid and cpr from work. But, I don't have to help anyone if I don't wnat too. Doctors nurses emt's they have too. The good samaritan act covers our azz from being sued. I myself would never give someone cpr.....I already forgot the proper precedure to do it anyways

Just watch the evening news sometime and you can easily see just how many cameras there are all over the place nowadays. On the Interstate no one would probably know until you told someone you saw something -- and most people would tell someone if they saw an accident on the side of the road.
There's no such thing as a secret thesedays. It's amazing what can be done to track someone down. If someone wants to make a deal out of it, they very easily can.
But my point is that you don't even have to stop to comply with the Good Sam act or to just be a good citizen. Just pull out your cell and dial 911 while you continue on. 2 minutes of your oh-so-important time can save someone's life.

I'm not going to waste my battery on somebody I don't know or could care less about.
