I'm starting to get a little freaked out when I drive.
Two times in a week and a half I've been pulled over by a policeman. I'm really not that bad of a driver, I don't think anyway. But, I'm starting to get the butterfly, sick feeling when I see a cop.
The first time I was pulled over, the police officer just wanted to tell me that my headlight was burned out. O.k., no problem, we can deal with that. I happened to have a brand new bulb sitting on my dash, which hadn't been installed yet. Of course, I was quick to show him, which he said he would take into consideration. I also, had to say, "Sir, I've been driving for 34 years and I've never had a ticket in my life". Thank you Mam, I'll take that into consideration also...
I received a warning, to which I'm very grateful for... Safe once again...
Then, on the way home from work, I get pulled for making a right hand turn into the second lane furtherest from me, instead of the lane closest to me. The police officer asks, " Mam, do you know what your were doing?" No sir, I exclaimed..He then told me and asked me, " I know it's been awhile since you last took your driving exam, but do you remember this question on the exam?" I of course joked with him and said, sir are you trying to tell me that I'm getting old? He laughed. (thank God) He said, " Mam, I bet you remember that question on the exam and you have had a memory lapse. Of course, that's what it was, a memory lapse. I'm so sorry sir. He then proceeded to his car when I yelled out the window, sir, one more thing. He comes back, yes mam. I just wanted to tell you that I've never had a ticket in the 34 years I've been driving. I'll see what I can do mam.
Praise the Lord, he came back with a warning. I was so happy!
I went home and told my husband the whole story for the second time in 1 1/2 weeks. He keeps laughing at me and wonders how long I'll be able to use the: I've never had a ticket in my whole life card...
We'll see, I guess....
