San Mateo: simple rules of the road

The San Mateo County Vehicle Code (annotated)

All true. No really. I looked it up...

sec. 101.1:
Any motorist operating a vehicle with an original or used sticker price in excess of $75,000 shall be subject to a fine of $450,000 in the event of non-tailgating at freeway speeds.

sec. 101.2
Intentional use of turn signal in vehicles not already equipped with the mandatory TSD (Turn Signal Defeat) switch shall be punishable by a year in federal prison and/or a fine not exceeding $50,000, to be determined by judicial discretion.

sec. 102.3
All male drivers under the age of 49 and female drivers under the age of 55 shall, under penalty of mandatory committment for life to a state psychiatric facility, display rage and hostility at all times while engaged in the operation of a motor vehicle, regardless of its cost.

sec. 103.9
Any operator of any motor vehicle, provided that operator of said motor vehicle is a domicilary of San Mateo County, shall be awarded, with the blessing of the Governor of The State of California, the equivilant of the appropriate week's lottery jackpot should said operator of said motor vehicle run off the road in as ghastly a manner possible one '93 Toyota Corolla, red, already beat to shit, licence # 4JJB404, operated by tall skinnyish white dude resembling John Cusack and/or Pete Townsend and/or Alan Rickman and/or Kevin Costner.

Lovin' my new, soon to be old, commute...
