First real ticket

I really don't see how there can even be a debate about this. The music was loud enough to disturb others, which also means it was too loud to allow you to drive safely (I don't care how well you can see...driving requires tactile, visual, and auditory feedback). He was right to get the ticket, and hopefully will learn to keep the volume down.

It's also why cell phones are illegal in many places now where driving, including DC. It's a distraction: your brain is focusing on the conversation (or the loud music that can't be ignored) so you aren't devoting your full attention to the road.

I listen to music while coding, do hw, cooking dinner, and other tasks that "requires tactile, visual, and auditory ". And I do it as well, maybe better then without music. Some people can Multitask, they shouldn't be punished for people who cant.

But a cop cannot evaluate every person to determine whether or not they are safety hazard. Even though a law does not seem fair, it still has to be enforced as a norm. I knew about the noise pollution law, because when I purchased a set of speakers from Car Audio, they had a sign stating the law and telling people that Car Audio could not be held liable for any run in's with the law. Granted Brad might be able to do a million tasks at once, but its little miss pink shoes talking on her phone with her chicas that makes laws like this needed in order to insure others safety.

Try taking the ACT, flying a plane, or merging onto a free-way with ACDC blairing. Its a distraction.

its not even if you can multitask or his driving, he was driving at 2 AM and playing music, he was distrubing the peace and thats all...

its an easy write up for cops

When you code, you aren't putting others' lives in danger, unless you really are bad at coding.

I feel your pain.
I was ticketed at a local forest preserve for violating some law that says, it cannot be heard over 50 feet away, The rent a cop who patrols the FP gave me an option to leave the park or receive the ticket.
I took the ticket knowing it was a bogus law and beat them in court, Not only did I beat the ticket the RAC (Rent a cop) was reassigned somewhere else.

Good luck.

This law did not apply to car stereos until a few days ago (at least here). It did but as long as your car was moving you where fine, if you where sitting at a stop light with the stereo wide open you where in the wrong.

I learned a lot about the disturbing the peace laws here when my neighbros kept calling the law because my 4 wheeler was to loud in the summer time (sun stays up til 9pm some days in the summer).

I have that damn thing to thank for multiple concussions and my sleeping problems, but I love going fast to much so I will keep on at it.

Right now my current 4 wheeler is totaled and at the bottom of a pond (long story). This is what I am getting when I come up with some funds, I am thinking about monthly payments

I have my fair share of tickets. I am a great driver but I can be a little heavy footed at times lol *cough* anyway -- my advice is to get a dmv lawyer. You'll pay for thier time but you wont have to show at the dmv most likely and they will most likely get you off. Judges listen more to the lawyers since by and large they dont waste thier time.

+ side is that you most likely wont get any points.
- side is that you will have to spend money on the lawyer.
