She was also weaving between lanes. It wasn't a warning - it was a $90 fine, but it was certainly less than the typical misdemeanor driving charge, immediate impounding of the car, and order-of-magnitude larger fine. She was "rushing to a meeting."

Perhaps we should get her out to the track! (the car was a county-owned Ford Flex).

She received a warning for the speeding portion of it

Generally 50+ mph over speed limit is an immediate trip to jail. Not "oh, well since you were running late to a meeting we understand -- just try not to exceed 55 again, please!" The police do not normally let people off with a warning for an infraction like that, unless kneepads are involved.

"Pertinent." Interesting choice of words.

wow some of you guys are bitter. if we can have a president not get impeached for lying to congress then how do you expect her violation to be handled in light of such a precedent?

has no one here heard of "it's good to be the king"?

precedence of the divide and (implied) multiply.

6/(2x(2+1)) = 1 (do the multiply before the divide)

versus

(6/2)(2+1) = 9 do the multiply after the divide.

The precedence is ambiguous as entered, and each calculator has a different rule.
