因为上海税率改革，现在咨询行业只征3%，比翻译低。于是有朋友想把翻译发票改成咨询发票开。结果税务部门一老兄说，不行的。然后来一句：咨询是高脑力劳动，翻译是低脑力劳动。
听得人好不舒服。那个人26字母可能认全？居然如此评价。

加上前後、兩旁不斷閃燈，不但隨後車輛要停，旁線同一方向行走的車輛也要停，對面相反方向行走的車輛都要停。當然會有人不停車，有的停了一會，就開車，因為要等所有學生全部上落車，很多人是沒有耐性的，加上接車的家長會與司機寒喧一番，閑話家常幾句，有時司機忘記了stop sign仍是打開，這令尾隨或對面街的車輛非常怒火也有。總知要遵守法例，罰單，扣分，加保險費，嚴重者停牌，因此每人都會比較小心的。大部份人都是很守法的，現在加上有“天眼”電視攝錄，違規是逃不了的。

那个校车视频应该是真实的。这种场景也是我们司空见惯的。我在美二十多年也从未见过有人违规超校车。这一方面是由于法律有严格规定，对违规者会严厉惩罚。另一方面，绝大部分驾车者都有很好的素养，尊重路人、尊重路人的安全，尤其是下一代的安全。

另外，那个校车视频应该真实的吧！袁兄你在美国，请问有看到大家都这么自觉吗？

美國最令我討厭的職業是律師。律師找我翻譯﹐都想支付我1小時9美元。都是華人律師。

接觸得不多的幾個老外律師﹐不如華人律師更令人反感。

Failing To Stop For A School Bus Under VTL 1174(a)
Posted on April 12, 2011 by Matthew Weiss

We are often asked about New York school bus tickets under Vehicle And Traffic Law Section 1174(a). They are commonly enforced in order to protect you entering and exiting children.

A New York school bus tickets carries a whopping 5 points and a fine of $250 to $400 for a first offense. For a second conviction, the fine is $600 to $750, and for a third conviction the fine is $750 to $1,000. The high fine amounts reflect the Legislature’s desire to deter these dangerous violations.

Of course, these ranges of fines do not include the $70 additional New York State surcharge imposed on all moving violations. Additionally it does not include the Driver Assessment Fee that is imposed on motorists who accumulate 6 or more points on their licenses. This fee is $300 for 6 points and $75 for every point above 6. If a motorist has any other points, a school bus conviction will make him or her subject to the Driver Assessment Fee.

However, there another issue involving school bus tickets issued under VTL 1174(a). It is not widely known (or enforced) but a judge can also impose up to 30 days in jail for a first violation, and 180 for a second or third violation.

Once stopped for a school bus, you may not drive again until the red lights stop flashing or when the bus driver or a traffic officer waves you on. This law applies on all roadways in New York State. You must stop for a school bus even if it is on the opposite side of a divided highway.

In Virginia, passing a stopped school bus that is loading or unloading children will result in aVirginia reckless driving ticket. Hard to believe, but you can be convicted of a criminal offense for passing a stopped school bus in Virginia. Passing a stopped school bus carries a maximum penalty of a 1 year jail sentence, $2500 fine, 6 months suspension of your Virginia driver’s license & DMV will assess 6 points against your Virginia driving record.

美国人对VULNRABLE的人绝对是照顾的

他们的事比天还大，包括残疾人，老人，小孩等。

不像有些国家不仅不照顾还老想欺负或ABUSE这些人。
