Without knowing the details of how you got this ticket, I can in no way advise you on how to fight it. If you were truly guilty of reckless operation (the laws definition, not yours) then you have virtually no leg to stand on.

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:26:16 -0800

Have you ever wondered if people all see the same? Is red to me really the same color as red to you? And what would it feel like for someone who is born blind; would the person not know what "seeing" is? Would that person not be able to visualize things?

I want to know the name of a song. I think it was recorded by Blood Sweat and Tears. The last line of the song is, 'thank God in heaven l love you.'

I`m doing a project in which a water pump is attached to a pipe and then the water is output from it. How can you determine the flow rate (gallons per minute) out of the pipe if you know the hp of the pump motor and the diameter of the p

You cannot determine the flow rate simply by using the hp of the motor that is powering the pump. The size and angle of the impeller blades determine water flow, the hp of the motor can vary widely.

Not likely the injectors. An injector is just a spray nozzle. A bad sensor is still sending too much fuel to the system. Check the temp sensors.

I was driving my 1993 audi s4 and the rear passanger brake has been grinding for quite some time. Tonight, as I was pulling in - the noise got much louder and suddenly it felt as though I was driving with my E-brake on... Any ideas?

I have a few, and none are good for you. You have basically ground through the brake linings, and created a metal to metal condition that has caused permanent, serious damage. Get your car to an ASE certified mechanic pronto. Brakes are not the place to put things off, or take chances.
