 | re: How to handle "weaknesses" question in job interviews? - CMBears1259 on 5/14/13 at 9:56 pm During my last interview, the VP asked me what my 3 "areas for improvement" are.

 | re: Speeding ticket/school zone question - CMBears1259 on 5/2/13 at 11:59 pm [quote]During school zone hours the 20 mph is the max limit. Non school zone hours are apparently 30mph. Why is this so hard to understand? You should sit back and think about the question you asked. [/quote]

 | Speeding ticket/school zone question - CMBears1259 on 5/2/13 at 11:28 pm A school zone obviously has times in which the speed zone is in effect, but what limit takes precedent (I'm assuming the school zone) if there is a speed limit sign that increases the speed inside the zone itself?
School zone speed limit sign of 20MPH- Normal speed limit sign of 30MPH- End of sch...
