He said the hill was a joke, the car was in park and the parking brake was on. Is this how desperate the state of California is? This is the first this NY'er ever heard of anything like this.
I've had cramps in my back and my calfs at knight, but wheel cramping? What is that. You also said the e-brake was applied. Wouldn't that be enough? Some coppers have nothing better to do that go after the easy stuff. That's what ticks me. We have big crime problems and the cops worry about stupid [censored] like this. Gotta luv 'em...
Spoken like a fellow NY'er!!!!! From what I quickly learned today Wheel Cramping is turning the wheels toward the curb when facing down hill. I drive stick and do it all the time, only I never called it Cramping. My son was taught the same way, I guess his wife wasn't. CA figured out a way to make money off of it. The brake was on, it must be quota time.
I have a lot more to say but its probably best I stop here I don't want to piz off any police officers.
