As per usual, I got off work early today and proceeded home. My first stop is to drop my brother off, as he lives right up the road from me and we work together. He lives on a road that basically loops around back onto itself, and is no longer than a quarter to a half a mile long altogether. On the part of the road that starts the loop, there is a rediculous stop sign there. There is absolutely no intersection there, yet the government still wants people to stop for no reason. It's just a 90 degree curve, and nothing more.
Well, as always, I swing it around that curve going my usual speed, and completely ignore the stop sign. I've ignored that stop sign for well over a year now. Only different this evening was there was a cop coming the other way. He immediately swung it around and flipped his lights on. I actually had no idea why he was pulling me over, as I am not fooling when I say I have forgotten all about that stop sign even being there.
While he's walking up to the window, I start thinking about how I have yet to switch the tags out on my plate. I have the car registered, it's just that I'm lazy to take the license plate cover off to put the sticker on the plate itself. So he asks for my license and proof of insurace, and then mentions the expired tags. I show him the registration, and he kind of smirks when I told him I have been lazy. I then realize my mother hasn't given me my new proof of insurance card yet! It's been expired since the 15th of Dec. So I tell him that I do have insurance, I just haven't gotten the card yet. At this time, I thinking I'm completely fvcked, and will have to go to court and waste all kinds of money because I'm too lazy to get the damn proof on time. He then tells me he's not going to worry about it because it's too much trouble!
He goes back to the car, makes sure I don't have a warrant out for my arrest or anything (you know, typical stuff), and comes back with a warning. He tells me he could get me for not stopping at a stop sign, failure to prove insurance, and expired tags. He then said that my license plate cover was probably too dark, and when I offered to take it off, he told me he wasn't worried about it.
So a long story short, I feel like playing the lottery, because today is my lucky day. I admit everything was my own fault, but the cop must've been in a good mood today!
Cliff Notes:
1. Ran stop sign, got pulled over.
2. Didn't have proof of insurance (just didn't have the card on me), expired tags on car (new tags in glove box).
3. Cop let me go, and told me to have a good day.
