i was driving home from my parents’ house last night past midnight, and i should have known better, as the cops are out in full force late on a friday night, but i didn’t think of it. stupid me. anyway, i was driving through the little village of newtown where the speed limit is 25mph and there is only one stoplight. or maybe there’s two. i was just on my way out when all of a sudden i see flashing lights behind me. oh SHIT. the absolute LAST thing i wanted was a speeding ticket. i happened to look down earlier and i noticed that i was going 40mph, which was definitely speeding, no matter how you slice it. and as he pulled me over, i realized that i didn’t have my car insurance on me. this made matters even worse, since i think the penalties for not carrying your proof of insurance with you are pretty stiff.
he walked up to the car and asked for license and proof of insurance, i explained that i changed purses and i didn’t have it with me, that i might have a card from my insurance agent (which i didn’t, after looking). he asked if i knew why he pulled me over and i said i didn’t (which, as everyone knows, play stupid when it comes to that question), and i’m glad i did, because i thought it was for speeding, and it was, in fact, because i had run a red light that i really thought was yellow when i went through it. okay, i knew it was red, but then again, i didn’t see any cops around. oops. then he asked if i’d been drinking. i said “no” but then with horror i realized i’d had, even though it had only been half a beer at my parents’ house. i know that i don’t metabolize alcohol very well, meaning that even though i may only have had 2 sips of wine, and i’m not buzzing, you will STILL be able to smell the alcohol on my breath. so i didn’t want to take the chance of getting caught in a lie, so i followed with “well, i had half a beer at my parents house.” then he said “so if i gave you a breathalyzer it would tell me you’d only had half a beer?” i told him that it would, all the while thinking that this was quickly going from bad to worse.
he took my license and came back and asked me to step out of the car (!!!) as he smelled alcohol and just wanted to make sure i was okay to drive. i knew i was fine but it still didn’t stop me from freaking out internally. he didn’t make me walk a line or do a breathalyzer (thank god) but he made me watch the tip of his pen while he moved it back and forth. i did this with no problems, and he told me i could go get back in my car. as i sat there and waited (sweating bullets i might add), i tried to figure out if he was going to bring back the breathalyzer or just write the ticket for running the red light.
he came back, handed me my license and said “ok, i’m going to let you go with a warning this time, but be more careful, okay?” What. The. Fuck. i ran a red light, had no proof of insurance, and had alcohol on my breath! and i was speeding too! he then started asking me what kind of beer i was drinking (???) and i told him i had half of a blue moon. he said he should write me a ticket just for that! (he was joking, of course.) and when i told him blue moon was a belgian white since he didn’t know what it was, he said “what about good old domestics, like bud light or something?” i told him they were piss beer. HA! ok. so i ran a light, was speeding, had no insurance card and alcohol on my breath, got no ticket at all, and told a cop that he drank piss beer. all in all, a good night, i’d say.
needless to say i drove veeerrrryyy carefully the rest of the way home.
Now how come you get away with all that, and I get a ticket for $80+ for a dark freaking window after only owning the car for 4 days, not speeding, and being nice to the trooper? NO Fair!
LMFAO!!!
SEE?!?!? This is why I only go 10 miles over the limit, MAX. Jo has all the luck with contests, and you have all the luck with that sort of stuff. The only luck I have, is…um…
…crap.
well…you’re certainly lucky at getting pregnant.
That’s not luck, that’s genetics. -_-
