'bad brakes' is not a ticket-able offense. If the vehicle had a valid inspection certificate then it's not the driver's fault.

Re: DWI, if you read the article the police said he exhibited no signs he'd been drinking. Absent probable cause, the administration a breathalyser or blood test would be an illegal search violating your 4th amendment rights.

If the Easthampton PD chief thinks Seinfeld is a HERO!! because he flipped his car, then I submit that he couldn't spell hero if it was written on the wall in front of him.

Driving with bad brakes is a MISDEMEANOR (re: crime) Leaving the scene of a reportable motor vehicle accident is a violation. Heroic? Don't think so.

Hero leaves scene of accident? I don't think so. I'm thinking Seinfeld pooped his trousers and was whisked away to a bathroom.

No you would not of been arrested. you might of been ticketed. Leaving the scene is only a violation if only property damage. If operator returns when police arrive and due not exhibit signs of driving under influence and have valid license and car registration usually no need for ticket.

I am not sure I would call him a hero. He did a good job of manuevering the car so nobody else got hurt...but come on, calling him a "hero"? I don't think so.

I am still laughing over the fact that the police said it could have been disasterous if he went into the intersection of 27. How busy is East Hampton in March at 7:30 at night on a Sunday?
