  1. The term, “reasonable” is actually an amazing term, in law. It infers that reason must be used to convict someone, and by multiple people and stages of the legal process. Law enforcement must first consider what is reasonable, given the specific conditions, and be able to express that reasoning to a judge or jury, while the judge and/or jury also have to apply their own judgement to see if it was reasonable. Standard measures are simply too inapplicable and capricious for most situations. Was that 200 feet in the fog? Are you even able to do it in 200 feet? Ridiculous. You sewing doubt in the US judicial system is a pure act of anarchism, which is ultimately your goal anyway. It is predicated on an assumption that most cops out there are just in it to nail every motorist. Of course that’s how you make money, off conspiracy theorists and fear-mongering, so I get it. Folks, the reality of law is that it is a judgement… of a person or a group of people. It is not some arbitrary, black/white thing that little children need. It is open to conjecture, debate and unique circumstances. That is why laws are written vaguely and why law enforcement officials have broad latitude. You cannot write a law for every single possible situation that can or could ever happen in the world. So you need laws that are adaptable and that can use reasoning to be applied. Laws don’t exist so you would comply. Laws exist so that you are protected from others. If a reasonable person concludes your actions were unsafe, they likely were. Do better next time.
