Kingsport Man Can’t Seem To Make the Smart Choice
Driver Rolls The Dice Craps Out
As an experienced tennessee car crash lawyer I would think that after receiving three speeding tickets most thinking people get the point. I had better slow down or I’m going to have more tickets, thousands of dollars in fines and court costs and at some point I’m going to lose my drivers license. I have choices. I can continue to drive in excess of the speed limit and suffer the consequences or I can leave earlier and drive the speed limit so I don’t have negative consequences and be late.
And then there are those, best described as non-thinkers, like Mr. Matthew Glenn Piatt of Kingsport, Tennessee. It appears that Mr. Pruitt did in fact have three speeding tickets in a short period of time and yet the guy chooses to drive with a non-functioning headlight and guess what? The police officer does what he is charged to do, he lights up his roof rack to pull over Mr. Piatt’s vehicle and issue him a ticket. Once again, I ask, what does a reasonable thinking man do? Well, we have already established the Mr. Piatt might not fall into that category but when you hear what he then does your going to find certainty in your opinion.
The rack lights of the Patrol Car go on and Mr. Pruitt doesn’t want to get another ticket so he takes off and tries to out-run the Patrol Car. The officer follows clocking Mr. Piatt at 90 mph in a zone marked 45 mph. He runs a red light narrowly missing another car before deciding that he might ought to pull over. When questioned by the arresting officer the driver told the officer he had been stopped three times recently and he didn’t want another ticket and he did not have insurance on his vehicle.
Well, he still got a couple of tickets, one for no insurance and the other for speeding but that was topped of with a count of felony evading and reckless driving. If I were a betting man I wouldn’t be that this guy was going to get. Not even after this experience.
