Ha. I knew it was coming; it was inevitable. Once it happened, I knew I would change my ways. I knew that the punishment would fit the crime, and I knew that I would change the error of my ways once I was caught. Yeah, I got my first ticket ever - a SPEEDING ticket. It wasn't fair, really, barely even my fault. I just happened to be driving every so slightly too fast.... It was on a long, declining dip with an incline right away. I didn't apply the brakes on my way down, knowing that on the way up gravity would slow me down to an appropriate speed. But, to my misfortune, I was going (allegedly) 51mph in a 35mph zone, with a squad car sitting at the bottom of the dip. "Do you know the speed along Dodge st.?" "Um, no... 40mph?" Yeah. It wasn't so good. I got off lucky though. I didn't have proof of insurance or registration, because I'm buying this car from my sister-in-law, so we're inbetween getting that stuff switched. He let me off from that, saying to get it taken care of. I can also take a (lame) class to get the speeding ticket removed from my record and the fine for the ticket abolished. But, the class did cost $85.00 and will last for two four-hour evenings. Yay. Sorry that if I've not responded to everyones' comments, I only commit so much time to online-related activites, and most of that time is giving an update on my dull life.  |
