    I won’t claim I know what the “Truth in Lending” act is, or if it refers to red ink at a 45 degree angle. But even if it is real, I highly doubt it has anything to do with moving violations.

    I frequently have to explain to people that the statue of limitations does not mean a ticket from 20 years ago is done with.

      The truth in lending law or another similar law does indeed allow you to cancel a loan. Tickets aren’t loans obviously though. The goal is you could get a car loan or a mortgage, and then decide it was a bad idea and cancel the loan, and give back the property.

        Yep, I’m sure it is a real law but does not apply to moving violations or parking tickets.

        Also yea, sounds like a very reasonable law. Any idea if the red ink at an angle is a part of it?
