RETURN TO IN-PERSON HEARINGS A BAD IDEA – These same considerations apply to criminal law lawyers. I do not want to go back to sitting in court or in a hallway or in the lawyers’ lounge from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to have my 15 minutes in court. How do I justify charging my client for a day of counsel fee when I only worked 15 minutes? How do I survive in business if I only bill for those 15 minutes? Now that we have escaped that, I will not go back.

The fact is that posted speed limits are not calibrated to the speed of the flow of traffic and are not intended to be strictly enforced. Travelling at or below the speed limit is usually, in practical terms, dangerous. (Try it some time.) Speed camera thresholds do not accommodate reality.
