Anyone know how many tickets she's got over what period of time? And at some point, wouldn't her license be suspended?

The Fogbow has a thread on Orly's high-speed hijinx but it ends in early 2010 and she has gotten several tickets since then.

Mustang Obly

Chilidog, Obly is a court- or officer- generated typo from one of her many speeding incidents.

Looks like Yosef has a leadfoot as well.

Most California courts allow a traffic violator to take traffic school every 18-24 months. But the courts don't cross-check among themselves and the DMV is essentially useless. Much like a certain Bar association.

So, a traffic scofflaw can keep taking traffic school -- online -- and needn't actually do it personally to pass. I'm not suggesting that anyone we know would do that, but it's all within the realm of possibility.

Once traffic school has been taken, the points for the violation are removed from the driver's DMV record.

This might be a good time to pray for some Rmoney retroactive conduct by a state agency.

That is not my experience. The limit has always been every 18 months, as far as I know, never heard 24 months. They seem to know to the day when you last had Traffic School. My ex- got a ticket 3 days short of 18 months. (And for the exact same stupid thing, a California stop at a Stop sign.) In order to avoid the points on his record and a four-year increase in insurance premiums, he had to first write a "declaration" to the Court and then go to Traffic Court itself. And beg. He then was given 12 instead of the standard 8 hours. It was torture.

I cannot figure out how Orly is getting away with this. There should be a point at which a license is suspended. How hard can it be to obey the speed law most of the time? Use cruise control to make sure you don't go over. (Spoken by someone who doesn't like to drive and is often accused of going too slow.)

Obviously, that's not true in Orly's case.

Obviously, cause she never was suspended (or assumingly never thretend with suspension) Orlena believes she is operating within the realm of rules of ethic (and my guess she never bothered to read them).

You don't have to guess... read her blawg and her "pleadings".

It's also obvious from the same sources that if she did she could not comprehend them.

It's also obvious to me that even if she read and understood them she wouldn't give a damn and would do nothing differently.

FWIW, and excuse me if this has been stated previously, there WAS a flaw in the CA DMV database that allowed idiots like Orly to take traffic school multiple times.

It seems that taking traffic school actually erased the infraction instead of flagging it to the miscreant's record, so if one LIED on the traffic school application...the part about, "have you attended traffic school to bunk off a ticket in the last 18 months?" If someone, say, Orly, LIED and said that she had not done the traffic school thing when she HAD? OrlanaTicketFraudGate!!!! (that loophole went away last January)

Anyway, Orly has obviously gamed the system and skated on multiple traffic tickets. Bitch needs to be frogmarched down to her local DMV and made to wait in line.

I'm picking shards of irony meter glass from my forehead with tweezers.

Don't read TFB while in the supply storage room !

Oh. I guess the problem is that I deal primarily with honest people.

On the subject of the California DMV...

My sister got a ticket in CA for almost running a cop off the road in late November. In retrospect, I believe it was caused by a minor seizure that was a preview of the major grand mal event of early December, leading to her second brain surgery followed by a three-week stint in a rehab facility -- during which time she was, well, mostly gaga.

The matter didn't come to my attention until late January, by which time she'd was in all sorts of trouble with the court for no-showing on her trial date. So I drafted a motion for abatement, accompanied by her affidavit explaining how and why she was unable to appear. The affidavit included affirmations that she had not driven a car since the event and would not be able to drive in the foreseeable future due to losses in her field of vision. Also appended was my affidavit attesting to, among other things, the authenticity of a wad of hospital documents demonstrating that she was, indeed, a brain-cancer surgical inpatient at the time of the trial. (Yeah, I know, I'm not licensed to practice in CA, so let's just call it some behind-the-scenes help to a pro se litigant.)

The motion mostly worked -- at least to the extent that they lopped off the bulk of the penalties and took her off the "suspend this license" and "impound this car" lists. She (I) paid the outstanding balance and I thought (hoped) the matter was closed.

But now I'm trying to get a California permanently disabled parking placard for her. She's all-but-paralyzed on one side, is wheelchair bound and does not (and never will) drive. The hangup? Well, the DMV claims she was required to pass a driver's education course as part of her penance and is holding that out as a pre-requisite to getting a placard. However, since her stroke of June 8th, she's way too gorked, IMO, to pass any kind of test.

Go figure. She's too handicapped to pass the test but she can't get a handicapped parking permit until she improves enough to pass the test.

Oh, I'll work through the problem eventually. But, Jeebus, it's been a PITA.

What I would do: Call her State Senator's office, explain it to a staff person and have them fix it. This is the one thing they are good at. State Senator's office doesn't work? Call her member of the Assembly. Really -- This is the one thing the electeds do very well in California: fix bureaucratic things you can't. Really!

Orly's got China on the non-existent brain, and the Olympics seem to have caught her attention too. Once again, she demonstrates her keen analytical mind, her proficiency in English, together with a brilliant mastery of statistics:

More meaningless analysis at the House O'Malware.

Is this a parody? Nobody is that dumb.

I'm an American, Orly (unlike you) and I gotta tell ya -- my chance to get an Olympic medal is precisely nil.

But keep trying. One day you will think a thing, and it will be sensible. Statistics tell me so.

I think there's a 1 in 8.2 million chance of that ever happening.

Thank goodness Ryan Seacrest locked down his job before Orly applied.

I wonder if Lena would like to calculate the probability of me ever casting a vote for her?

Lena vs Berg for Judge of the Inferior Court of Bundogs. How would you vote, GG?

So sorry to hear about this. Speaking as a traffic court expert myself, thanks in part to a horrendous driving record that didn't calm down until I hit my 30s, I always tell people that the best solution to complicated quandaries like this is to just get yourself in front of a judge, by hook or by crook. I know you're out of state and she's disabled, but the fact is that the judge has the power to issue all kinds of orders right on the spot and it's often easy to get that done when he or she has a live human being right in front of them (as opposed to writing letters that find their way into some pile, which get transferred to another pile, and another pile...)

Anyway, it is obviously in able hands, yours, but just wanted to pass that thought along.

Not necessarily. Accusing someone of a crime may be considered "libel per se". If so, proving specific damages may not be required.
