Watch intersection

Monday, February 2, 2004

Dear Editor,

I want everyone to know about a law that I found out about recently. It is about passing at intersections. I did not know that the country road coming from Timmerman's Feedlot was an intersection, until I got fined for passing there. I was traveling west as I passed the country road, and passed another car going west. The State Patrolman who stopped me did not inform me that it was an intersection, so I went to court.

The judge read the law in its entirety. Part B says you can't pass at an intersection. I knew that, but didn't know that road was called an intersection. There are a lot of people who didn't know it, either. So, watch it! If you are passing on the highway near a country road turnoff.

Letha Redden,
