SupahMommy and Mommybrain are hosting All About MEme Monday. The topic this week getting pulled over or something you've done in a car that should have gotten you pulled over, or (if you are a goody two shoes) a funny story involving your car.
I have never been pulled over for speeding. In fact my only tickets have been for fender benders. I know, goody two shoes. I was pulled over once.
Set the scene: Friday night in very small town America(think 3000 people max.) High schoolers out cruising and seeing friends.
Me: Teenaged, barely 16, liscensed to drive for about 2 months. My first car was a Plymouth Champ.(Two door gold colored hatch back--not exactly a cool car but it was mine).
Where: I had stopped in the Pizza Hut parking lot to talk to a friend in another car. We stopped and turned off lights and cars and stuff. Then we left the parking lot. I neglected to turn my lights back on until about three blocks later. I realized it and turned them on--after the cop had seen me driving without them.
What happened: He turned around and pulled me over. Me(having a heart attack) meekly saying hello officer. Him-Need your liscence Miss. I guess you figured out what I pulled you over for. I'll check your liscense and be aware of those lights and things. He checked my liscence and let me off without even an official warning.
Me: Relief did not even begin to cover what I felt. There was no way I could have explained a ticket to my parents. My driving days would have been over before they even started.
As for things I have done in a car that I should have been pulled over for--well I do tend to drive fast, but only in places where I know I won't get caught. I often forget my seatbelt in town. Otherwise I really am a goody-two shoes about driving (but my husband hates to ride with me. He is a horrible back seat driver).
i got my one and only speeding ticket at 16 and the DA cop pulled me over IN MY DRIVEWAY
ReplyDeleteparents were NOT pleased
hmmm, I got pulled over for flipping a cop the bird. Not a goody two shoes, I guess, huh? He deserved it. I got off, though. I denied it was my middle finger and told him I was giving him the hand gesture to signal I needed him to wait a minute.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to turn my lights on when I was a new driver too....got off with just a warning! Whew!
ReplyDeleteOne time in high school, I got a speeding ticket in the McDonald's drive through.
