Texas Ping, the Best State in the USA!

A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.

It is unclear how many incidents have occurred where drivers of test-driven vehicles have been cited in the area. But, according to Rocha, the officer implied there is a history of this happening along University Drive or U-S 380.

According to Rocha, the dealership offered to reimburse him for the ticket, though he claims they earlier adjusted the vehicle estimate to account for the cost of the ticket. The dealership's general manager denies this occurred. Rocha did not purchase the vehicle.

For Rocha, the incident adds to an already heavy emotional burden. Rocha’s need for a new vehicle stems from a personal tragedy—his son, Daniel Junior, died in a car accident on August 30th at the age of 44.

"It does upset me that I'm in the middle of this feud that's going on," he shared.

For now, Rocha faces a citation and a court date, all while grieving the loss of his son.

Haven't heard of this happening, except for the whole dealer plate scandal. Any ideas?

Another special Texas summer edition for your perusal.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.

Blessings, and stay cool!

Based solely on what you say in your post, I would fine the Dad $1.00 and let him go.

He should take it to court and explain the situation. Should probably take along a rep from the dealership as well.

Speeding is extremely common in the area. Local police up that way have started severe enforcement efforts in the area all of a sudden - think “shocked, shocked to find gambling going on here” levels of timing - and they have cracked down on any infractions they can find when they can’t get enough speeders. Area speculation is that they’re doing it for revenue generation and to shut up the senior citizens who suddenly got real loud about it after the 380 rebuild was completed.
