Here is the step by step scenario:
1: Pulled out of drive way at the crack of dawn (okay not really but you get the picture)
2. Exiting neighborhood - did a rolling stop at the stop sign.
3. I saw the cop.
4. I knew what he was there for I pulled over before he even put his lights on, however, he still proceeded to turn on his lights so I could be fully embarrassed (really, he was a nice guy pretty sure the lights thing is protocol - it still sucked).
5. I have my license, registration AND insurance by the time he gets to my window.
6. Takes the info and goes back to car
7. Comes back and starts filling out a ticket!! A ticket!! I was shocked. I thought he would just give me a warning!
Best part: I actually talked him out of it!!! I didn't think it was possible. I feel victorious.
Or maybe he was NOT planning on giving me a ticket all along and just wanted to see my reaction or make me feel good about myself, no?
Whatever the reason, thank you Mr. Officer for being kind.

Hahaha that's great Nanny! Verrrry impressive that you were able to get out of the ticket!!
ReplyDeleteBoy, am I sure glad I don't need to pay $129.50 - I'd come to a complete stop too!
