So...I got pulled over for doing a U-TURN. This is how it went. Shit. I pull over and reach into my glove compartment to get my insurance... Cop: What the HELL do you think you are doing? Me: Uhh, I was doing a U-TURN because of the construction and I wanted to get onto Park Place sir. Cop: No. Why are you in the glove compartment? Do you have gun? Are you hiding drugs? Me: No sir, i just wanted to have everything ready by the time you got here. Cop: How am I to know that? Keep your hands on the wheel until I tell you otherwise. Me: Yes sir. Cop: Why were you doing a U-TURN on Texas? Me: Sorry, i thought I had more room and I just wanted to go to my friend's house. Cop: Where does your friend live? Me: Park Place, sir. Cop: Do you have insurance to give me? Me: Yes sir. I dig in the glove compartment and hand him insurance. Turns out to be expired. Shoot, i hand him another one. Expired. And another. Expired. FINALLY i found one that was valid. (maybe i should clean out my glove compartment) Cop: You should throw those other ones out. Do you have a license for me maam? Me: About that...I actually lost it at the airport. I am going to houston tomorrow to get a new one. But i have a passport! (and i give a little smile) Cop: You need to put your registration sticker on the window. It is still on the paper. (I look like the MOST not put together person ever at this point) I will be back. Me: I frantically get the sticker on the window while he is gone and when he comes back....I look at him and smile... and say "I got the sticker on for you sir" Cop: Ashley, you are good to me. (i am thinking in my head...CREEEP) I am just going to give you a warning today. (WHAT!?! I don't even have a LICENSE!!!) Me: (I am pretty shocked needless to say) Thank you sir, you are good to me too. Have a good night. Anyways..that is how i got out of ticket. awkward. lol. |
