Yeah, I’m not trying to roll the dice at all. Especially when I have to drive in mass while working, or even down to Logan to fly out for work. The only reason I’m not considering litigation is time. That shit could take forever. I also think I may have screwed myself on what I thought was the final say in the matter. When Newburyport superior court told me I could just repay all the fines and they would issue me documentation that the matter was settled I essentially traded the misdemeanor driving on a suspended for admitting to moving violations. Even though one violation was for the lack of an inspection window sticker(didn’t need one on a vehicle registered in CT) and the other was for rolling through a stop sign(when the cop in Amesbury pulled me over he flat out admitted it was a made up violation as he thought I was driving a vehicle suspected of being stolen and he needed a reason to pull the vehicle over(he seemed genuinely upset and apologetic as he was arresting me for the license suspension issue when he was just looking for a thief)). So by taking that deal I didn’t consider they would leave those “moving violations” on my record despite them not being valid motor vehicle stops. I think once I paid those final fines to “settle” the matter I unknowingly and stupidly admitted to the infractions. I’m not sure there’d be any technicalities I could hit the state with because of that, despite my impeccable record keeping. The classes also put a time strain on me. I’m irreplaceable at my job and I just took my first vacation in nearly a decade for 3 weeks in Europe and it put crazy strain on the business. I only have a single weekend off there scheduled between now and October. In between a rock and a hard place right now. Blows lol

Hey, I'm from Brockton!

And I agree. Don't move there. I live in Quincy now, thankfully. I love it but if we didn't inherit the house we would never have been able to afford it. Half a mil for a bungalow style house on a tiny plot of land.

That’s not really the brag he seems to think it is.

Facebook moderator is a crap job making lousy money and they’ll take pretty much anyone because of the high turnover rate. And most importantly, they don’t actually interact with actual users often, which explains a lot given the way he constantly behaved like a child.

I have a patient I visit in Franklin and it is a lovely town. Nice houses too.

Thank you

At first I was like "that's obscene even for land price" and then I saw Braintree. nvm

Thanks

Cambridge said "absolutely not".

That’s the one marginal reason I do see need for an attorney. I think the biggest mistakes was not having one when I thought I had finally settled the matter with Newburyport. I screwed myself with that deal. I paid fines for “moving violations” in exchange for the misdemeanor of driving on a suspended license dropped. I believe they held me over a barrel and got the state off the hook for thier mistakes by getting me to pay for moving violations. I’m sure a lawyer or even someone level headed without my lingering annoyance would have realized that was a bad idea. My criminal record remained clear but my mass licensure still had all its strikes. That’s on me for caving and thinking “one last” payment would be the end of it as long as I kept meticulous record.

I've taken the class 6 times. 3 times when I was younger and into street racing, 1 retake because I "fell asleep" (according to the proctor), and twice because of a fuck show error like yours. The suspensions and being assigned the class are automatic. As far as I can tell from the nightmare I went through the last time, there's zero avenues to appeal it. Maybe you could get a lawyer and sue the state about it, but good luck with that.

The class sucks. It's a glorious waste of time and they run them with an iron fist. I've seen people be thrown out without warning for "having an attitude", blinking too long, going to the bathroom too many times, coming back from lunch 2 minutes late.. it's actually insane.

I don't envy you. But you're likely going to have to take them all. Also if someone runs your plates either manually, or with an automatic scanner, and they see it's registered to someone with a suspended license, they'll pull you over. Just something to keep in mind if you're thinking about how long you can roll the dice and keep driving.

The RMV will never see reason. You're capitulating to something you should never have to do.

Hoping to avoid that. The RMV confirmed that I don’t owe any fines, and they don’t see any motor vehicle related arrests on my driving record. Just that I’m required to take this course 1 time per each moving violation in order to reinstate my license. The course is only 100.00 and a lawyer seems costly to get me out of 2 of them. I’m more than willing to take it once, I can find time for that. But 3 times is impossible. I just spent 3 weeks in Europe and my business was really strained with me gone for so long. I literally don’t have the option to skip 2 or 3 work trips for these courses. Was hoping someone here had experience with having been given notice of needing to take the same stupid course multiple times and finding a way to reduce that. I mean it’s literally an 8 hour drivers ed course with a brainless test at the end, surely someone in the RMV system can see reason and realize that’s pointless. Shit I’d even pay for all 3 courses, but taking them is redundant as hell.

If I was a Woburn city planner, here is the proper way I would have done it, vertical ramps in and out of commerce way and Washington street into a 5-6 story parking structure

I didn't read much of his personal sub, I just saw a couple and saw how he behaved overall.

I was banned much earlier than when the big mess started, and at that point didn't realize what kind of guy he was- I went out to subs for/by sub mods to see if I could get any feedback or thoughts. I was honestly confused and trying to figure out how I got banned and how I could reach out.

He wound up stalking me to those subs even though he had me ignored so he shouldn't have been able to see my posts (or mine his), lying, editing posts, and doing everything he could to slander me out there. By then the drama had started here too, so it became really obvious how unhinged he was.

These are the types that the FBI says to the news "We had him on our radar for some time" after they've done some horrible nation wide headline type stuff, is my take.

You need an attorney

I did. Guy got fucked by poor record keeping by the state.

I wouldn’t blame anyone for choosing to ignore my rant lol. Especially considering I didn’t include a TLDR of any kind.

Im just here to see if anyone actually reads all that

Got eeeem

Someone said they did know who he is in real life and he's actually just the moderator of a Facebook group, not an actual employee.

From boston.com The dad who visited 350 local parks says these 7 will thrill your kids

Agreed. Any time I visit family in Lynn we pop over to Market Street. Great development

I worked at Market Street for 7 years and it really is pretty amazing. Truly serves as Lynnfield's downtown.

Came here looking for this dumpster fire being called out. I hate that lot, it gives me such anxiety. Too much going on in there, without enough exit points to the surrounding roads. That said, I do love that little right turn only exit they put in on the market basket side. I have to try going in by the Chinese restaurant, I hear that way sucks a bit less.

SAME! I went once and won't go back. I'd rather head west or north to hike.
