That approach took the issue beyond a strict legal argument as to where one is legally allowed to ride to where one should ride, and a rural Texas courtroom may not be the best place to have that call made on our behalf.
my experience with the legal system is that no matter how justified you feel in your position, that doesn't guarantee success. when you go to court, your mama, wife, brother, sister and friends all give you their support, but that doesn't count in the end.
