[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got one of these in the mail this week. What happens if you just ignore the letter and decide just not to pay the fine? And how does the appeal process work? Is there a real risk that you would end up paying more than $250 after a court appearance? In my case, I was driving on a pretty wide two-lane road that has a lane in the middle where drivers can't go. It's certainly not the type of road where anyone would cross in the middle. The bus was driving on the opposite side from me, and it put out its stop sign a split-second before I passed it. So my case isn't as sympathetic as the posters who were on a six-lane highway, but the average driver wouldn't have noticed the bus on the opposite side of the road. It is worth appealing? Thank you![/quote] If it was an actual divided road - one with a curbed median - appeal. If it wasn't, you messed up so pay up.[/quote] You can’t mess up if the bus didn’t put on its yellow flashing lights 100 feet in advance. The bus camera company doesn’t track that information. None of these citations comply with Maryland law. The system was not developed for Maryland. It is a Texas system that was shut down when the FBI arrested the president and 6 others for bribes and fraud. The mcps director of transportation who has been fired set up this deal with one of the bus camera officers now in jail. The deal is a scam. Appeal and tell the judge the citation doesn’t track distance and doesn’t establish if bus gave 100 foot warning with yellow flashing lights. The bus camera company hired a mcps administrator and a Montgomery county police office to keep their in with mcps and the police. Both violated conflict provisions to take those jobs.[/quote] There are literally two separate laws. § 22–228 is about what school bus drivers have to do, with respect to their alternately flashing flights. § 21–706 is about what drivers have to do, when there is a bus with alternately flashing lights. You're just plain wrong on the facts here.[/quote] Where does it say bus drivers don’t have to obey the law?[/quote]
