SPC Private RallyPoint Member345768<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My discussion starts with this. I have seen plenty of times the civilian government workers getting off with speeding on post in government vehicles. Only because they say they are late or they don't know the speed limit when it's clearly posted yet they will only follow it when it suits them. Should they be held to the same standard where if they are speeding because of being late or other reasons, wether in a pov or gov should they receive same punishments as a soldier would receive?Civilian workers on post2014-11-28T15:01:39-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member345768<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My discussion starts with this.

I don't see what you describe on the post where I "live." That is unacceptable - POV or GOV.Response by CW5 Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 28 at 2014 3:07 PM2014-11-28T15:07:41-05:002014-11-28T15:07:41-05:00SSgt Private RallyPoint Member345779<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That should be pursued no matter who does it.

This is nonsense. Civilians don't get special privileges for speeding or any other traffics violation!

A soldier who is ticketed will often just be reported to the chain of command - where such reports are ignored if the soldier is considered good, or might get an Art 15 if the unit is looking for a reason to punish the soldier for his attitude or performance. Meanwhile any civilian who is ticketed for any traffic violation is hauled into the federal magistrate court where they will be fined and charged court costs. Soldiers can be sent to magistrate's court too, but that rarely happens for minor offenses. <br /><br />Visitors might get away with not showing up for court - although the court will issue a bench warrant (which is rarely enforced) and the person will generally then be banned from driving on the installation (which they may or may not care about).Response by MSG Thomas Currie made Nov 5 at 2022 10:49 AM2022-11-05T10:49:53-04:002022-11-05T10:49:53-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member7972302<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>yes...Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 8 at 2022 10:25 PM2022-11-08T22:25:20-05:002022-11-08T22:25:20-05:002014-11-28T15:01:39-05:00
