Yes. It was only a matter of time.
I've been driving with an expired inspection tag since JUNE.
(poor Loser Cruiser can't pass :(
My rear tail light has been burned out for weeks.
I was out doing visiting teaching interviews
and I passed a police officer going the opposite direction.
Looking in my rearview mirror, I cringed
as he flipped around and moved in behind me.
A stop sign was coming up...
I weighed my options.
Run it- as not to expose my burned out tail light?
Hmmmm.....
Or hit the breaks?
Choosing option two....I stopped.
Sure enough -POLICE LIGHTS.
BUSTED!!
An image of Jack Bauer came to mind and I started sweating.
It disappeared quickly though, as a bald (LOVE bald dudes),
sweet officer came to my driver's side window.
"I pulled you over for a couple of reasons today, ma'am,"
he said politely. (Reasons mentioned above).
I've been ticket free for FIVE YEARS. Count 'em---FIVE.
That's a record for me. Mr. Officer went through the motions.
Left me guessing.
He came back with a WARNING! (she sighs in relief)
As I related this tale during my VT interview the sister
was convinced I must have had a
halo above my head-- being on the Lord's errand and all.
Halo or no halo, the Loser Cruiser is going in the shop Friday.
