In need of a common sense U-turn
It’s not often The Seattle Times’ editorial opinions are pointed the wrong way in regards to common sense. Except for a car parked in the wrong direction on a freeway, apparently [“The right ruling on a wrong-way car,” Opinion, editorial, Dec. 7].
If no ticket can be given because a police officer didn’t see the car drive in the wrong direction, then that would also mean a body with four bullet holes can’t be murder unless a police officer saw the shooting. Or a drunken driver isn’t drunk unless the police officer saw the drinks consumed.
And so forth, on and on.
The editorial writers need to make a common- sense U- turn, and hope a police officer doesn’t see it.

Traffic ticket sent to Supreme Court?
Having a traffic ticket reviewed by the Washington Supreme Court doesn’t say much for the intermediate judges in the appeals courts, or any other decision-makers in the system who allowed this farce to proceed.
I suggest the appeals cost be apportioned out to those involved, and deducted from their termination pay.
