Attorney Steve Lehto fights for Dream Cruisers in court
Ok, so a few of the Woodward Dream Cruisers got a
little carried away and actually burned some rubber. And guess
what? The State Police and County Sheriff's were right there to
give them a ticket. But, in some cases, not just a ticket for
excessive noise or something minor like that. Oh no! A "RECKLESS
DRIVING" citation! That hurts. What next, tickets for having
blue dots in the tail lights? The local police were much more
lenient
Who will defend these helpless cruisers? Attorney
Steve Lehto, whose office is in Farmington Hills, to the rescue.
After hearing about the over zealous police action, and the injustice
at the not-so-dream cruise on the WCSX "JJ and the Morning
Crew" show, Steve stepped in and offered to defend-free of
charge-cruisers who faxed their plight to his office that morning.
So far, Steve has gotten five or six of the 15 tickets he is handling,
ranging from excessive noise, drag racing and reckless driving,
reduced to a lesser charge.
We, and attorney Lehto, think it's a good idea to
obey all of the traffic laws at the Dream Cruise and never endanger
yourself or anyone else. We were there for the entire event and
never saw any reckless driving and very little tire squealing.
Mostly just car lovers having a great time as we had.
Steve knows about cars, especially bad ones because his specialty is helping car owners who have lemons get their problems addressed. His office number is 855-0866. We on the WHEELS staff salute Steve and the judge who restored the spirit of that wonderful Dream Cruise.
