I'm not refusing to admit that I fucked up. I put myself into a stupid position through my own ignorance. At 3am there wasn't a soul on the road and you can see everything for literally miles - this is a flat state. There was one car approaching an intersection out on the highway and I slowed down to 65mph in a 70mph zone well before I approached that intersection. There was ONE other car on the road which I passed- I slowed down and got way over away from him and then sped back up. Did I still endanger anyone by driving so fast? Probably. Does the court want to hear everything I just typed, probably not. All they see is that I was driving fast and failed the slot machine. I understand and accept that. But to say I had reckless disregard for others is not true either. I go out of my way to live my life in a way that does NOT affect others.
I never said I was not wrong or stupid for any of this
I am saying that this machine should not be able to do this to me when I have video evidence of me being perfectly capable of operating my vehicle safely. Audio evidence of the officer admitting that I passed his field tests.
PS: Yes, there is a calibration report. It is just a ****hair within spec. IF my partition ratio is "average" and IF me having extremely low blood sugar didn't affect the results and IF the machine wasn't reading alcohol stuck in my mouth and IF all of the stars aligned perfectly and IF the calibration was done correctly and IF 100 other things, the result was correct.
Should they be able to end your life with all of this IFs? I don't think so. They do end you here. There is no hardship or provisional license. It's been over a year and beginning next month I can drive if I blow into $100/mo machine they put on my car. The DMV was supposed to give me a hearing in the first place but never did and there is NO oversight- NONE- they call it implied consent. Don't get me started on that.
Did I fuck up, should I be punished? Yes. A year stranded is ENOUGH. Should I go through a meat grinder when I can prove I was not impaired? I don't believe so
